How can we overcome the problem of forgetting what we read? In today's share, the author lists a number of methods focusing on active reading:.
choosing interesting books to read.
understanding the context of the book, such as the time period/setting in which the author wrote it, etc.
reading the foreword/index/catalogue to get a general idea of the book, as described in the previous sharing.
choosing the book in relation to our own situation, e.g. when we are preparing for a promotion, we may read books related to the workplace.
taking notes or marking them up and reviewing them.
staying focused.
make connections.
stop reading if we get bored.
apply what you have read.

Excerpt
It is vital to have a plan for recording, reflecting on, and putting into action the conclusions we draw from the information we consume.
Speedreading is bullshit. The only way to read faster is to actually read more.
Don’t read stuff we find boring.
Finishing the book is optional.
Focus on some combination of books that: (1) stand the test of time; (2) pique your interest; or (3) resonate with your current situation.
The more interesting and relevant we find a book, the more likely we are to remember its contents in the future.
For older books, try to understand the historical context. For books written in an unfamiliar country, try to understand the cultural context.
After you’ve read the book, peruse the bibliography and make a note of any books you want to read next.
When choosing books, take a look at your own situation and decide on genres or authors that might help you overcome any current challenges.
Active reading requires focus and the ability to engage with the author.
Jot down connections and tangential thoughts, underline key passages and make a habit of building a dialogue with the author.
The first time you write in a book can be unnerving, but in the long term, it leads to a rich understanding and a sense of connection with the author.
Life is much too short to finish a bad book.
Nancy Pearl advocates the Rule of 50. This entails reading the first 50 pages of a book and then deciding if it is worth finishing. The Rule of 50 has an interesting feature: once you are over the age of 50, subtract your age from 100 and read that many pages.
Reading alone is not enough. We have to contextualize the knowledge.
Teaching others is a powerful way to embed information in your mind. This is part of the Feynman technique.
The best time to start rereading a great book is right after finishing.
