I don't read fiction books, ever. I just don't enjoy it. I love reading almost anything non-fiction.
My methods for reading, and absorbing the material, came from test and note taking. I'm an excellent note taker. I am able to zero in on things and place all facts into outlines that I just see in my head. I read as if I'm going to be taking a test on the material, it's a subconscious thing, I don't have to think about it. I got to know from tests and different teachers what the likely questions would be, from obvious to small details down to the bonus question. I never had to study, ever, except for some things that involved a LOT of memorization of stuff that is elusive, like series of numbers. If I read or write something once properly, I'll remember it forever pretty much. I can't comprehend how someone can't prioritize and remember things like that, how people can fail a test, I just don't get it. I would be so frustrated if I were a teacher, I'd have to teach in a school where you could beat the shit out of people who didn't get it. Then I'd bet they'd figure out how to get it real quick. Read like your life fucking depends on it, I guess might be my motto-because, it probably does.
How do you read when your reading to yourself?
