If you want to get something out of a book… you do the same thing that you do when you are studying a subject in school… when you get to an interesting passage… you try to fully understand what the author is saying… and, in doing so, you have to be very careful not to distort the authors words to conform it to your previous beliefs on that subject…
Second, you evaluate the proposition… is it valid or not… is it something that you should add to your bank of references… if so… how and when should it be used… etc…
Third… what I personally do is to transfer the important material on my PC… and review it occasionally or when needed… because I know that every time I review something I will have become a new and different person and may see some little distinction that I had omitted before and that could be all important…
I have important books that I have been studying for decades and it is from these books that have been able to learn and grow the most…
