Do you guys take notes while you read? I find it difficult to remember main themes and examples for later discussion. (Reading for entertainment. Not for school).
I've been thinking of taking notes. Imy a slow reader but I still lose specific details and memorable passages a month or so after reading. Let's take notes together and meet up sometime, me and you. Would be nice.
Nah, I just read for pleasure anyway, it's not like I'm out to impress some anemic intellectual scene clinging desperately to the arse end of western society.

I don't think wanting to remember information about literature, because you feel like you can positively gain from it, is necessarily something connected to the desire to "impress some anemic intellectual scene." But, if that's an identity you're wrestling with, maybe keep it inside so you don't interfere with discussion/make people feel they are perceived as a projection of you just because of their desire to better themselves.

No.
If non fiction I may underline the text and write comments when I think something is relevant. It helps me remember the text better.
With fiction, I like to keep the texts intact.

I dog-earred a lot of pages when I was reading Nietzsche's stuff.
That's about it.
