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 :^(
