What the use of a Vocabulary Book.

I believe it's totally wrong to recite a vocabulary book, the purpose of owing one that kind of book is revealing what words are included. After that, you can find these words among various sorts of other materials like "Economists", "National Geography", etc, or something that you are fond of. How can you remember those words if you hate them. Like what you are reciting or stop it.
