Dear friends,
Do you ever take notes when reading? If so, for what purpose? As a mnemonic tool? Or as part of the process of understanding?
Care to tell me?
No, i only highlight passages i find important and/or beautiful.
Non-fiction?
I read the part/chapter once, then pick up my notebook and a pen to take notes while skimming what I've just read. When there's secondary material available I read it before the skimming part. It works very well for me.

Pretty sure OP was just using a turn of phrase idiot

My process is as follows:
1) Read the book once at a leisurely pace, to my heart's content - dog-earring pages of import, or which contain passages that resonate with me.
2) Reread the work in question, singling out the most important passages/themes/quotations to pontificate upon in-depth, usually in the form of essays/aphorisms/etc.

OP's post is well composed and freshly relevant. Fuck off.
Also reported, asshat.
