Can anyone recommend a book on how to read a book? I found, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide To Intelligent Reading by Mortimer J. Adler but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations? I've been reading more books lately but I find it's difficult to absorb the important information.

You don't need to read a book to learn to read a book. Just look for tips online. I recommend buying flap notebooks and taking writing key phrases, then going through them afterwards, I've found it helpful.

Important is relative based on what you seek to obtain from the book.

Rote memorization is less useful than route memorization.
