Look at the introduction Every book will have a brief introduction to the contents of the book. Before reading, you should read the introduction and know what this book is about, so that you won't feel confused when you start reading.
When browsing for the first time, you can read quickly. At this time, you only need to know its story or the general content of the book. If you don't understand, you don't need to stop and study carefully.
The second time you read it carefully, you need to read it carefully. In addition to understanding its story content, we should also know its meaning, which may be understood in combination with the author's experience or background of the times. If reading twice is not enough, you can continue reading. Good books are not boring.
Taking notes while reading is a very good habit. If a book is too long, you may not fully remember the meaningful places when you finish reading it. When reading, write down what you think is meaningful and helpful to your understanding, which will make your memory deeper and you can take it out when necessary in the future.
After reading a book, you should think quietly about what the book has written, what you have learned from it, and how it helps you. Only in this way can you read this book meaningfully and not waste a good book.
