What did it take to finish reading a book?

Finishing a book was usually a relatively subjective concept. Different people might have different standards and methods. But generally speaking, the following are some signs that might be seen as finishing a book: 1. Complete the foreword, preface, table of contents and index of the book and have a general understanding of the contents of the book. Able to answer some questions or puzzles raised in the book or understand important concepts and plots in the book. 3. Having a deep understanding of the theme and characters in the book can produce your own thoughts and feelings. Able to summarize and evaluate the main ideas and opinions in the book. 5. Able to recommend or share certain contents of the book with others. It should be noted that these signs are not absolute and depend on the specific book and personal reading experience. The most important thing was that reading was a continuous process. One should constantly read and think to continuously expand one's knowledge and skills.
