Learn active reading
By the term active reading, I mean working with text to remember information well. There are several principles:
1. Read sitting at a table, not sprawled out on a couch. Concentrating your attention will be easier.
2. It may seem strange, but start reading from the end. Refer to the conclusion first, and then read the chapter. That way you'll understand the main point at once.
3. Use a pencil. Throughout your reading, leave notes, underline the main point (I have a whole set of abbreviations for notes)
4. After reading, tell the information to someone you know or try to retell the chapter.
First of all, the method applies to non-fiction. But a pencil in your hand while reading Doctor Zhivago won't be out of place either, believe me.
