How do you extract the most possible value from a book?

The common strategies that you'll find people do are:

- take notes in margins

- phrase what you read in your own words

- think critically about what you read

But for me, I extract the most value when I discuss what I read with others. Not only does it provide more motivation for reading but I also find myself with a lot more insight after a conversation with a friend about what we just read.

Avoid cognitive ease by reading it tilted 30 degrees.
