I found myself never finishing books because i'd start working through the examples or doing related research to what i was reading and then ADD would kick in and i'd never finish. I've now vowed that i will read through the book first and then go back and do examples and further research on the topic after. that has been working better for me so far, i've managed to get thru many more books in 07, than i did in 05 and 06 and 08 is going well too. we kind of talked about this before.

Technical books contain so much information that trying anything more than that makes no sense. I definitely find scanning through a book to build a mental table of contents useful.
