Perhaps you could attribute your points to Adler's classic: How to Read a Book?

Thanks very much for this post. I've been reading your blog for a couple of years now and was always puzzled as to how you were able to do so much reading.

I really like the idea of reading everyday even if it's only two pages.

I have also fell into the trap of not reading because I decided to read a particular book but it never took off (got interesting) and rather then set it aside and begin reading something else I would just not read. I don't know for some reason I would just feel guilty about not getting through the boring thing and not move on. Stupid!

Finally, I would like to read more in the evening, but my husband likes to watch TV as a family. I wonder if I could do a little reading after he's gone to bed. My only concern with that is that I will train my brain to fall asleep whenever I read. You know how that is. =)

I also like your comment about reading at work for techies. I think that is a great idea. I wonder if the management would look at that as being a slacker. Stupid!

Thanks

Bea

Richard - Excellent suggestions. I assume the mehtods you use to mark text and go back and review the key points is what leads to the increased comprehension and retention. I have found that I have a very hard time remebering details from books I read just before going to sleep at night. But that also may be a sign of old age.

Keyde89 - I am interested in forensics, Windows as well as Unix, Solaris, and Mac OS X, but predocminately Windows as that is the standard OS for servers and workstations where I work.

This is a great checklist! Thanks for the tips.

Hi Marcin,

It's all about focus. It's easier to focus when you are interested in the topic and the explanations are clear, hence my second point.

I use those brightly colored post-it flags so I don't have to mark up the text. Then I go back through and take notes about the items I flagged.

"Read Interactively" - I hate marking up my books, but I may try this one.. (Perhaps I'll start with Tao of NSM, since we'll be using it this semester in one of my classes, j/k :P )

I know I'm not the only one with this problem, but I tend to dwell on the first instance of something that I don't understand or read through several pages and totally forget what was covered... Do you ever have those moments, Rich?

Thanks again
