How do you extract maximum value from a book without reading every single word?

I've been thinking about the 80/20 rule applied to reading — the idea that 20% of a book contains 80% of the value.

But every time I try to skim or summarize, I feel like I'm missing the stories and examples that actually make the ideas stick.

How do you balance reading efficiently with actually absorbing what matters? What's your actual system?
