Imagine you had to make a powerpoint summarizing the reading. What would you put on it?

You don't

Instead you form questions about the book and put them in Anki cards.

Highlighter. You skip bs and highlight important words. Write in margins. Sell for big bucks because next guy doesn't have to do that stuff.

What helps is also after reading regularly just close your eyes and meditate on what you've read. Ask questions about the material. Try to explain to yourself the flow of the proofs. I found that really helps deepen understanding of the material for me.
