This will help you immensely when you read a chapter or a set of verses.

We each read the chapter we are studying that week and write down all the observations we can find.

You can each read a chapter at a time and then discuss it afterward (books with discussion questions included work well).

But as you read this chapter, you can learn from someone who's already been there, who identifies the hazards and points the way around them.

If this sounds like an overstatement, then read her chapter on what happens if your official record - your 'information doppelganger' - diverges from who you really are.
