The only exception is that I usually read about 1/3 of the paragraph before noticing it was a filler. I will try in the next coming weeks to implement this system and see how it goes. By the way, there is a note-taking session (for Bio students) happening this week at my school that is being hosted by a humanities student. I was wondering if you ever attended something like this, and if it was effective or if you ever obtained any new skills.

Even wonderful fiction books that I am only reading for pleasure. I just started my own academic blog, and I put <em>How to Win at College</em> as the book of the month. Then I just so happened across your blog. The book should arrive sometime this week, and I look forward to reading it. I’ve made it a bad habit to pseudo-skim all readings.
