Thoughts on reading after finishing "The Patton Mind"

I have just finished the book The Patton Mind - The Professional Development of an extraordinary Leader by Roger H. Nye. By any measure, Patton was an indefatiguable reader who never seemed to have stopped reading at any point in his life, even in the midst of wars.Several key ideas come to mind after :Annote books with ideas/views/commentsSummarise and distill key informationThink critically and do not be quick to accept everything; Do not be afraid to disagree.(Patton occassionally scribbled "Bull" next to ideas he did not agree with)Re-read good books to gain more insightsRead biographies and papers to understand the authors personallyStudy history to avoid past mistakes and apply discovered lessons to the presentDon't waste time on fiction, it is far more important to grasp facts.Never stop readingGoing to hold myself to these ideas.
