Best way to learn

In second year Physics right now, barely studied, just came to class and listened and that was enough. I now realize I never really learned how to learn besides by osmosis.
There are a lot of great textbook suggestions on the /sci/ wiki, do I just choose one at random or is it best to read through each one on the topic linearly and do all the problems? If so how do I stay motivated?
I'm not sure I have the time to go though 7 textbooks on thermodynamics with doing classes at the same time.
