+ Faithfully follow the steps below with utmost diligence; begin reading step 1.
+
+ \begin{enumerate}
+ %1
+ \item Read the abstract? If yes, proceed to step 2; otherwise, go to
+ page \pageref{combox-abstract} and read the abstract.
+ %2
+ \item Is there enough time and motivation to read a long report? If
+ so, set $N$ equal to $1$; if not, set $N$ equal to $5$.
+ %3
+ \item Begin reading chapter $N$. Do \emph{not} pay heed to the trite
+ epigraph at the beginning of the chapter.
+ %4
+ \item Set $M$ equal to $1$.
+ %5
+ \item Start reading section $N.M$
+ %6
+ \item Is section $N.M$ of any interest? If not, go to step 7;
+ otherwise read this section and then go to step 7.
+ %7
+ \item Increase $M$ by one. If section $N.M$ exists, go to step 5;
+ otherwise go to step 8.
+ %8
+ \item Increase $N$ by one. If $N = 6$, go to step 9; if not, go to
+ step 3.
+ %9
+\item Close the report, do something else.
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+ The above procedure is based on Knuth's procedure for reading his
+ ``The Art of Computer Programming'' series\cite{knuth}.
