Reading a book is helpful. But many people don’t know the ways to read a difficult book. The following steps will help you feel relaxed by the book you read.
Catch the main point. Pay attention to what you can catch, and leave behind what you cannot. You may understand something important through reading. However, there are some ideas that you may not follow. But remember to move on and you will get the main idea of the book.
Give it a first read. You may find that each section of the book needs special attention. However, it’s not good to keep your eyes on every word. It is better to get a general idea of the book, rather than reading the whole book carefully. The faster you read, the better you are at reading.
Give it a second read. This time you’d better read more slowly and more carefully. You should catch more details（详情） of the book. When you read the book for the second time, you would understand much that you did not understand earlier.
Reading a book is not a difficult task any longer if you know how to read a difficult book. It all depends on how you enjoy it. Difficulty lies in the mind, but not in the book. Therefore, don’t be afraid of a difficult book. Try to keep the above reading skills in mind, and you’ll get unexpected results!
