mainly studying the index like a muthafucka before diving in

not much, mostly just the idea of actually reading the table of contents and skimming through to get a sense of the overall shape of the work before diving right in. i used to just start reading at the front and stop at the end.

It gave me the method to skim/abandon a book, I used to slog through whatever book I was reading
