I was at the library yesterday, looking at some classic volumes I've always wanted to read but were intimidated by...classic works by Aristotle, Plato, etc.

Is there any special method for previewing, PRing, and RRing/dipping in the different works?

For instance, Plato is more conversational, with lots of passagework that is easy to PR. Aristotle is much more dense. Any advice for reading densew literature like Aristotle, the Bible, Logic manuals, etc?

I admit I'm still on tape 2, taking my sweet time , so if this is covered later in the course disregard this...
