<p>Anyone else reading this book for STEP? I was wondering how important understanding this book is for the Summer program. I have only started it the other day and was wondering if I should reread it to make sure I know and understand EVERYTHING about the book. </p>

<p>For me at least, there’s two types of reading I do. The type for enjoyment and just plain reading and the type where I analyze EVERY single detail and memorize EVERY little fact. </p>

<p>Obviously I would just like to read the book; but if I need to be seriously on to of it I would do the other.</p>

<p>Anyone who’s done STEP in past years or going this year know? </p>

<p>Lol. I’m a tad bit ridiculous - I know. haha.</p>

<p>Honestly, we barely used the book last year in STEP. It was referenced maybe once or twice, but it really depends on the teacher. I think reading it once is more than enough. If the teacher asks for specifics from the book, it won't be too much in detail. Congrats into getting into STEP! I hope you'll enjoy it much more than I did =P</p>

<p>Less then half way into the book at the moment. I find Paul Farmer sooooo inspiring...</p>
