Read Silman's workbook first?

I have all of Silman's books and have never really been able to get into them (at least not happily.)  But this morning I started reading the Reassess Your Chess Workbook, and I felt it was something I could get into and enjoy and grow from. I liked it!

What do you all think about reading the workbook first?

I would prefer to read his Amateur's Mind first.   Given the range of players that he has "vocalizing" their thoughts, I've found it easier to get what he is saying when he critiques bad thought processes.

I would also wait until Silman publishes the 4th edition of RYC - it is apparently totally rewritten, and the 3rd edition will then be misleading you concerning Silman's current theories...

 What about the workbook. Wait on that, too?

I guess so. I'm assuming the Workbook will be partly invalidated after the 4th ed. of RYC comes out.

 I don't know whether to be sorry or relieved.  :)
