The amazing uneducated/self-educated Abraham Lincoln!

Fascinating post, Tom. Thank you. I think I'll mention something I read once but cannot recall the source. I read that despite Lincoln's reputation as a reader, he rarely, if ever, read a book cover to cover. He would read bits and parts, sometimes the same parts over and over, but not the whole book. I think one of his friends said that, but I cannot recall where I got it or how true it is. I am curious if anyone else has ever read anything like what I just mentioned.
