He often wrote about his experiences as a reader and collector of books. He wrote scholarly essays about literature and literary history. He often wrote book reviews for such publications as \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly, The Bookman, The Outlook, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The New York Times Review of Books. \u003c\/i\u003eRoosevelt's writings about books are worth reading for their own sake, for in these pieces he provided critical insights into influential books. His writings about books, however, are also important because they show how Roosevelt responded to the books that he read. Roosevelt's reading influenced his thinking on the many topics that interested him, so these writings provide researchers with a better understanding of the role that books played in the formation of his ideas, attitudes, and political positions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTheodore Roosevelt on Books and Reading \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together for the first time Roosevelt's writings about his experiences as a reader, his scholarly essays about literature and literary history, and his exuberant reviews of some of the books that he especially liked.
