Faithfully follow the steps below with utmost diligence. After
arriving at this page, always 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}.
