What is the ULTIMATE way to actively read a book? So that after reading it once, you have completely digested it and don't need to re-read.

So far I have this:

1. Look up every unknown word and note it with it's definition.
2. Paraphrase every sentence mentally before you move on to the next (It makes you quicker at expressing yourself.)
3. After every chapter, try to repeat it all to yourself without looking at it.
4. Look up the analysis/summary on cliff notes once you're done.
5. Post your opinion on /lit/
