How do you read non fiction /lit/? Do you read it without stopping

Take your time reading isn't a race. However if you want to read it fast and then a second time slower it would help.

I prefer to go slowly the first time, even if it means re-reading it bit by bit, rather than read it all over a second time.

I read non-fiction slowly, taking notes as I go. I also try to read the forewords and introductions as often as I can (though some are too long and dry) as an understanding of the author's life and perspectives adds context to what you're reading that can help you better understand it.

Read it as fast as I can the first time to get the general picture. Read it slower the second, form own ideas and conclusions, read other people's opinions, and intro if there is any.

I usually cant focus but when I can I just read fast and remember everything. The solution is having good genes.

or reading books for kids like you apparently do

I read non-fiction like I fall asleep: slowly, then all at once.

I wasn't aware that kids appreciated Hegel.

Everything is fiction...

I always read with a pen and paper handy. Anytime an there's a main idea or an idea that sticks out to me I make a note and cite it. It's proven that you retain more information if you process works in multiple ways (reading it, listening to it, writing about it, etc).

I also write in 99% of books that I read. I personally love getting books with writing in them. It's as if I'm having a conversation with the previous owner

Look to history
fulfill the spirit
look to the mystery
progress more near it.
(I'm really bad at poetry and I never read Dr. Seuss but I tried.)
