@arithoti Dude m laxmikanths whole book is like notes, just go through it twice, don't skip anything.

But if you insist on reading less, read chap . 3 to 9 , 11 , 12, 15, 16, whole part iii and iv .chap 33 , 34 , 41 ,
55, 59, 60 , 62, 64, focus on them. read them as many times as you can.

all other just take a read like a story book. it might help.
