I do understand your point. And it's not a bad thing at all. You should 
however just keep in mind to balance passive and active learning. It's 
also a great opportunity to write few lines of code and then go back to 
your books, and repeat the process. It's a good way to bind practical 
and theoretical knowledge together. It will lit light bulbs in your head 
while helping you to better grasp other concepts, that you're currently 
reading on. This process will also allow you to focus on weaker areas 
(theoretical or practical), which you understand more or less. Isn't it 
a wonderful way to learn? :)
