I find all those extra words surrounding the bare facts in textbooks to be highly useful. That’s what helps me not just memorize the teacher’s password but really understand the material at a gut level.
They get ME bored. Every book is six hundred to a thousand pages, and when you’re done with it, you’ve got a hundred pages worth of knowledge. I think it’s better to memorize some passwords, then separately look up specific ideas that didn’t make sense.
I love reading a good textbook. Good nonfiction is so much more exciting for me than good fiction. And of course, I learn far more from good nonfiction.

Fair enough. :)
