I went through many of these Discussion Forum topics one by one.
What I learned is that you should not start with school stuff right away.
Start PRing with light weight books. Something non-fiction - because non-fiction has Table of Contents and Chapters with headings etc.
Something like books on 'George Washington - American hero'. Or, something on topics you already know quite a bit.
Then do this for 10 books. Each should be of no more than 200 pages.
The activation should be done the next day for each book.
Then gradually move up to more difficult topics, but still not technical books.
Later, after a few weeks go on to your technical books.
This technique is what is explained in my Home Reading PR course.
I too am a novice and have finished my 3rd book. I think I am making progress.
I might be wrong about this. Maybe a more experience PR guy / gal can tell better.
