We all know that you can't read most physics textbooks like a novel and expect to master their material, and that you have to study them and have paper and pencil nearby to go through the things that the author leaves out and to do exercises. But I found that it is very difficult to have enough discipline to go through a book meticulously, and I frequently quit reading halfway through a book because I don't have enough stamina and I get tired and fatigued. I have a long reading list for the next summer, but last summer I also had a long reading list but couldn't read two thirds of the books I would have liked to read.
Have any of you experienced problems with disciplining yourself when trying to carefully read a book? Do you have any recommendations for me? I don't have a problem with wasting time, it's just that when I set aside 5 hours to read a book and sit at my desk I find it difficult to continue reading after some time. Even after I take a break , I find myself being lazy and skipping pages because they are too technical and I don't want to slow down my progress.
