Advice for Reading GR for the First Time

[David Morris]

Have FUN the first time you read GR, because it's a rolick!  That
probably means just you and the book.  When I'd finished it the first
time I thought, "I'm not sure I know what it means, but I enjoyed it."
 When you read it again, use help if you want, but I think if you just
took notes on what you find thought provoking, as you continue reading
those notes will later resonate with other portions of the book, and
eventually a more cohesive picture emerges.  And with the Internet,
you've got a vast source for searching those intriguing details.

Or read it without help and then re-read it critically? I'm a bit OCD so part of me would like to read it for understanding the first time, but for a work on this size and scale I'm not sure if that's plausible.
