Use your book as a mirror¶
The purpose of reading is not to remember everything. It is to use the book as a mirror. To see yourself in the text. To talk to the text.
Do not worry about if the current book you are reading is the 'right' book. Walk with an open mind, you can learn something from a rock, from a child, from a bird and from an expert in a field. You chose the book based on some criteria, so there is some substance to it. Find yourself in the book.
