I am always trying to read textbooks (physics, in courses, or independently), and every time I end up in one of these situations:
Do you have any methodology to approach textbooks? A reference on the side? notes? Do you skip chapter? Do you start from the front page till the end or do you look at the index first?
My goal: to find out how to extract as much knowledge from the book before dropping it.
- The book gets too technical for me to understand, or mentions something I do not know.
- The book goes on for too long and gets boring after the introductory chapters.
- The author dwells too much on trivial explanations and the whole book starts feeling like a waste of time
