无论你是为了上学还是为了好玩而读一本非小说类的书，想轻松地读完它们是很常见的。非小说类书籍的结构通常不像小说类书籍，正如《哈佛商业评论》（harvardbusinessreview）指出的那样，如果你想浏览的话，它们更容易浏览。下面是HBR建议你怎么做。

这里的想法基本上是带着意图略读，这是我们之前提到的一个想法。很明显，你不可能通过这种方式获得完整的信息，但是当你不得不这样做时，这是一种浏览一本书的好方法：

1. Start with the author. Who wrote the book? Read his or her bio. If you can find a brief interview or article online about the author, read that quickly. It will give you a sense of the person’s bias and perspective.
2. Read the title, the subtitle, the front flap, and the table of contents What’s the big-picture argument of the book? How is that argument laid out...
3. Read the introduction and the conclusion. The author makes their case in the opening and closing argument of the book. Read these two secti*** word for word but quickly...
4. Read/skim each chapter. Read the title and anywhere from the first few paragraphs to the first few pages of the chapter to figure out how the author is using this chapter and where it fits into the argument of the book...
5. End with the table of contents again. Once you’ve finished the book, return to the table of contents and summarize it in your head...

这是一个非常简单的计划。就个人而言，我想补充一点，如果你有时间阅读，只需浏览一下你不感兴趣的章节。对于非小说类的作品来说，当它们对你没有吸引力的时候，把整章都扔掉是很少有问题的。这样做还可以帮助你保持足够高的兴趣水平，让你继续享受阅读，这才是真正重要的。更多详情请访问《哈佛商业评论》。
