Very interesting advice Carl.
especially the point about the having an active purpose,
makes me wonder if I'm approaching it in the right context.
I mean, I adore books but I guess I come to them with the feeling that whoever has written this knows more than I know so has something to teach me.
And being so ingrained with stereotype of the teacher standing at head of class and "imparting" knowledge on the passively sitting student, I guess one goes into that mode even when reading - I'm interested in your material, now give me all the information/knowledge you have.
My question is, how do you get out of that frame?
Is it just your self talk?
how do I know for sure I'm doing one and not the other?
