How do you read a technical book

Given I have a finite reading time, it’s hard for me to read any technical book (300 pages and above) from the first page to the last. Most of the times, first 2-3 chapters give me enough to get going and other remaining chapters just become more like reference to me.

So, I’m wondering if this just me or anybody else has also experienced this. Please suggest any other better/faster way to go through the whole technical book (that is thick in size). Thanks in advance!
