For years and years, I primarily read books that I bought. I would underline and add little doodles to the pages that stuck out to me. If I ever wanted to know what I thought about a book after reading it, then I could just pull the book off the shelf and look. However, in the last decade or so, I have started to use the library system more and more. Now, books vanish as soon as I’m done reading them. And so, I keep little notes about each book that I read.
It doesn’t take an especially long time to make a little page for each book. If I spend a dozen hours with a book, then I might as well take another half hour to whip up a post about it. It is helpful to have a little write-up to send to a friend or colleague who might be interested in the book.
