reading some books esp concerning or relating to social sciences in any other most times needs long-term assimilation of each phrase before progressing. Most times the words used have a high word problem making the whole context uneasy to assimilate wethin a projected time-frame.
Reading a normal text or any book takes concerntration and through that you'd get an understanding with aid of a dictionary. But in the aspect of social scientist like peter obadiagbo(not spelt correctly tho) assimilation is far from it. One of the problems i find in most books is that authors invent new words which takes critical observation of preciding prepositions to understand what's meant by that. If this should continue, i think we'd end up writing and reading books for ourselves. Thanks
