RELAX! Take a day off or so and tell yourself that your next session will be incredible! Get yourself psyched up for a fresh session. Then, after you've gotten some rest and a break from it, hit it again while you're refreshed and excited. I've learned that attitude plays a huge part in this process. Remember to have fun! Sometimes, even when you feel like you haven't retained much, you really have retained more than you think. Pretend to be talking to a buddy about the book and explain it to him being as specific as you can.

Hope this helps.
