For self-helps, how-tos, autobiographies, or historical books, I treat them as if the author is sending me a really long letter or email. Or like a random blog post or article on the internet. I usually go chapter by chapter. I can never read a nonfiction book in one sitting.

Oh yes, I once read a history book in 2 or 3 sittings and I realized I remembered little to nothing from what I'd read. So I read it again chapter by chapter and I can actually recall details and events much more clearly.
