I remember the scene from Patton when the priest says he is surprised to see The Bible at Patton’s bedside. He asked him if he actually read it. Patton replied, “Every damn night.”

And who can forget Patton viewing the smoking wrecks of German tanks and shouting "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I READ YOUR BOOK!"

Hah —I immediately thought of General Patton too! He was a prolific reader and military historian, may he rest in peace.
