I don't have time to read it all.
I read but I can't understand what it's all
about.

can't continue until I look them up.
I forget what I read by the time I have to use
it.

21. Jeanne Godfrey, Reading & Making Notes, 2014
Myth 1: You need to read
most things on your reading
list, starting at the top and
working your way down.
Myth 4: You should read
academic texts carefully
from start to finish.
22. Steve New, Academic Writing Skills Guide, 2019
“The vast quantities of information
that are available mean that it is
important that you read as
intelligently as possible. For most
social science literature, this means
‘skim reading’ a document or book
before reading line-by-line.”
23. Hertford College Study Guide p. 13
“reading everything is not
always achievable. You will
have to learn to be pragmatic
and decide on a manageable
amount.”
