Not if it's fiction

Ive been thinking about keeping a reading journal for awhile. Just jotting down thoughts and quotes and passages that stick out to me. There is a reason they make you write about stuff you read in school. Helps you remember it and think about it. Its been like a dozen or more books since I had that idea and I still havent started it :^(

Yeah that's called a commonplace notebook. Just write down and quote what sticks to you with whatever you read. You can move on to adding your own thoughts slowly.

Yes, I've always hated not being able to remember a quote or specific fact I liked so I got into the habit of writing down notes with related page numbers on sticky notes whenever I read.

I take notes when I'm reading for a purpose (e.g. to learn)
I don't take notes when I'm reading for enjoyment
