What do you do when you finish a book, /lit/?
Do you write down a review? Or maybe write a summary and analysis of characters, thenes, motifs, etc? Do you try to have a discussion (in person) with others who've read the book? Or do you simply close it and never think of it again?
Personally I like to create my own "SparkNotes" for future/more in depth readings. Curious to see what others do when they finish a book.

I usually make a thread on /lit/ saying "just finished this, what did you guys think of it" and get like four replies if I'm lucky
I rant at my kid brother about it for 20 minutes because I live at home and I have no one to talk to
I also make note of it in my journal and I make a small reflection

Or recommend it to my friends mom, since shes the other person I know that really reads

I go to the /lit/ archive and look up every post mentioning it, because I want discussion but I don't know people in Real Life™ who read.

It sits on my mind for a while. Sometimes weeks. If I really like it, I might enthusiastically try to talk about it to all the disinterested people in my life. And then I think about it again and compare it to the next book I read and so on till the edge of the memory fades and is replaced sharper ones.

I pick another one. And so it goes.

I rejoice. It is likely my only achievement of the week.
Then, if I liked it, I read the introduction.
