How do I pick which books to read?
You may want to know how to pick books to read, especially if you haven't been given a reading list. The thing is to look at the course, to look at what you're expected to learn on the course and then to try to find books that match that. And when you find a group of books, look at the content's page, look at the index, and then flip through the book to see if it's suitable for you. Is the level right? Is it the kind of book I like reading? Because we all have a particular book we like reading. For example, I hate reading books where I can't open the page properly. And I like books with a lot of white space around it. Find a book that you really like. It needs to match up with the course you're studying.
