    Sometimes I feel bad about buying books. I worry that in doing so, I risk treating them as trophies on a shelf rather than guided experiences. Then, I revisit one and see my highlights from years ago, and it's like having a conversation with yester-me. Books are good, folks.

        Sometimes the order and proximity of books on their shelves is enough to spark ideas.pic.twitter.com/TiZn8nV7NP

        And you’re a different person when reading it later, with different antenna for insight

        Personally, I find my notes too distracting. They may influence me instead of getting a fresh reading of the text. Sometimes they're just embarrassing. Instead, I copy passages & then make my comments on a couple separate sheets that I fold & keep in the front cover.

        The practice of writing down the passages forces me to focus more and helps with memory retention. Then having all the notes with their page numbers neatly organized makes it much easier to locate passages later than trying to skim through the book.

        I am re-reading works that impacted me when I was young - this one at age 16 - and the degree to which my predilections remain intact both fortifies and horrifies me in equal measure

        I just bought a reMarkable tablet and it's helping. I hate screen reading and it feels more like book reading to me. (We'll see if it lasts though.)
