Re: Do you ever highlight, take notes, or just generally write in books you are reading?

[(Anonymous)]

I have like... one nonfiction book I started highlighting in and then I lost track of the highlighter I was using and didn't want to suddenly switch colors so I never finished the book.

With fiction, what I do is... well, I tend to take a picture of the page with my phone and then transfer lines that strike me down later in my commonplace book-- it's a mix of lines that are Important, where I want to track things I think might be foreshadowing and then see if I'm right, pore back over them with full knowledge of what they were leading to. Other times it's lines I wish I'd written, where I just want to be able to go back and read them, whether it's especially funny or moving or just really good description/character work. I'm trying to really get into close reading as a guy whose memory is shit. Like, yeah, I'm reading the books I read for fun, as an adult, but I *want* to study good writing, and enjoyable writing, as both a reader and a writer!

One book I haven't transferred all my notes about, I wound up basically snapping pictures of every single scene a particular character was in because I knew something was up with them, and I was still surprised by the reveal of what that thing was, but once I got to that point, I was really happy that I had known to pay attention to them because now I could easily go back and re-read everything setting that reveal up! And it's just really fun for me.
