Pickaxe is not a reference book, which mostly explains your
frustration.  There's a difference between your expectation (find
something quickly) and the reality (read it and learn).

I therefore suggest you read it chapter by chapter.  Obviously, you
won't remember everything, but you'll remember vaguely where to find
things for future ... er ... reference.
