/lit/ - Literature

this is relevant to my interests

I have a notebook that I write vocab in, I load up all the new words into anki (flashcard program) every week or so.

I'm an entry-level reader and read very passively. I'll probably start taking notes using post-its or w/e soon and try to engage with what I'm reading more.

underline quotes - maybe write page numbers to the side of them when they link together. but that maybe force of habit as i study english lit.

#did it after reading a book remembering key points
#underline during reading and re-read underlined quotes
#close reading ,copying sentences into book, dense notes (takes ages, have about 20 unfinished books with this method)
I don't know if it makes a difference to be fair, maybe the underlining part is the best idea as revision is just re-reading so the handwriting vast sections was perhaps a waste of time

I tend to do that too. Although it's more I copy out the quote into a seperate notebook, along with page.
I also note the new characters and brief details e.g Tatooist, bat-shit mother, beaten as kid.
I've not really had any formal teaching in terms of note taking so I've always been curious as to what people fill notebooks, bigger than those they read, with.

I've got the marginalia bug bad. I take notes on everything: new words, funny or poignant instances, themes, structural or stylistic linkages to other works, motifs, etc. It makes for a fuller (albeit slower) reading experience.

When I'm done with a sentence I go over it in black Sharpie.

I don't even take notes when reading textbooks, much less while reading novels.
