How to read a book?

Reading notes
It’s better to skim each text than get stuck on a difficult page. Try skimming the whole selection
in 5 minutes. Notice section headings, bold words, or highlighted quotations to get a sense of
the story the author is telling. Then when you read the entire piece, you’ll already know where
the argument is going. To ensure your comprehension, answer the following questions:
• what are the main concepts this author is using?
• what is the point of this article—what is the author trying to explain?
• how convincing is the argument?
• how does it relate to the others we have covered?
