I think it's also a good idea that if I experience other's point of views. Enhance the understanding people and behavior or the way they and I think. I don't want to panic anymore. cause what if I die tomorrow. I don't want to harasses myself with ideas that I don't want to even think about.

Just discovered your site by accident. I have to admit, i often dont have the patience to read a book slowly, and really, i should. I dont know why, but i always feel pressed to finish a book as quick as possible, but you make the best point in that its about extracting the most value from a book and turning it into a more life-changing experience. You have inspired me, and i'm going to change the way i approach books. Great post.

The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost. When we discovered them and how intrinsically edifying they are, we negotiated an agreement with Encyclopaedia Britannica to be the exclusive worldwide agent to make them available. For those of you who teach, this is great for the classroom. I cannot over exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.

In particular this article has made me realise the necessity to read. I am a muslim and it is interesting that Islam actually enmphasizes the value of reading as the first word of God, through the angel Gabriel, to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) was IQRA(READ).It was not pray, work etc but read. I will certainly start to do some "productive reading" now and will apply your step of making a list of the important lessons the books have to offer.

I think this helps me understand it easier. And if I need to re-visit the book at a later time, all of my underlinings and markings will take me right to the main points instead of having to re-read every word again. When I was in school, the teachers always said not to mark up the textbooks. I think that's why I like doing it so much now.
