Some professors insist on students that they should complete so big textbooks from cover to cover; I surprise how that can be practically.
I said to some of my colleagues: Has the professor himself read such extensive books from cover to cover!?
Moreover, it is not only one discipline: there are many textbooks for many disciplines: it is not only one textbook.
Anyhow, once I met another one who is only a boaster and a liar: so he took a huge bundle of scientific magazines and kept them with him for a couple of days; then he said: I have read these magazines from scientific societies; I said: What! How can you do this in a couple of days? He said: I review them and selected what I like to read.
I said: But you claimed reading them all!
He said: I choose what I like only; that's it.
