- On the page it all feels familiar and obvious, so I’m sure I’ve got it
- The moment I finish the last page I snap the book shut and move on, feeling done
- I keep reading the same paragraph three times because halfway through I’m already skimming ahead just to "get through it," and I never let any one chunk land before I’m racing on to the next one.
- My notes are basically the book copied out in my own handwriting
- I learn something and feel like I’ve got it, then never look at it again until I suddenly need it
