-if you have no special reason for wanting notes for a book, often better to just read the book and take notes if you reread it
-
- best notes often attempt to summarize the book, esp breaking down argument into logical chunks and their relation
-
- but again, if you have no special purpose may be best to read book through and then spend some time writing down thoughts it inspires while still fresh
-
-if a book is hard you can use the conceit that you are trying to summarize it to help stay focused on reading: when you need to write down “what he says next” that helps clarify what you find difficult
-
-if books dump a lot of info, you probably want to try to organize it in some sort of sequence or table
-
like in histories, scribble down dates of events as they are mentioned and then try to figure out how you can represent all the sequences of events side by side
