There's a lot to it.
By writing your thoughts down, asking the book questions, and sorting the author's points you are keeping yourself focused and cementing the thoughts into your memory.
You'll get better at coming up with mnemonics on the fly, sorting out bad books, and referencing books later down the road.
It's a skill that takes dedication and time to learn, don't discount it.
- Ixiaus 17y agoI think the commenter was pointing out the lack of depth in the article, the author more-or-less just skimmed the subject. I completely agree with what you've said, it's a process I came to on my own over the course of my self education. Mnemonics, closed-eye review of material, note taking, and spaced repetition of important memorizable information (which takes a discerning eye to determine) are the key skills and habits that make my readings more efficient and effective.
