Another good rule (of reading and dissecting opinions, too, in general) is to read a take on something, then immediately move to read an opposing opinion or critique
I'd like tips on memorising things, though. Always had issues with that
> Start lots of books but read very few cover to cover. Reading an entire book is most useful when you're young / ignorant, but, the more you know, the less you'll want to read the entirety of most books.
Ironically, I found the “read the entire [article]” instruction/expectation in university too... even the sub-graduate-level ones emphasized reading the entire text.
Very few professors, when asked, would admit it was unlikely that all of the information would be useful or more than just padded pandering, and I received surprised reactions from both views (professors who were surprised I was trying to read everything and didn’t skim/read selectively already, and professors who took surprise from my disinterest to read the mountains of material they unceremoniously dumped on us without emphasizing what parts to pay attention to/learn from).

depends a lot on the class / professor... to really learn something important, you need to learn and memorize a lot...
