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.

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 do that with technical/math-dense books. It's very useful.
