Reading A Book Should Be A Conversation Between You And The Author. Presumably He Knows More About The Subject Than You Do; If Not, You Probably Should Not Be Bothering With His Book. But Understanding Is A Two-way Operation; The Learner Has To Question Himself And Question The Teacher, Once He Understands What The Teacher Is Saying. Marking A Book Is Literally An Expression Of Your Differences Or Your Agreements With The Author. It Is The Highest Respect You Can Pay Him.
