Take fucking notes while you read.

If an idea doesn't impress itself upon your mind, it wasn't worth remembering. Notetaking is for women and fags

The only thing I write down are my own thoughts, i'm not highlighting and summarising shit like a highschool girl reading textbooks.

when i see an important passage i cut it out of the book. i don't cut all the way to the edges so the outside aesthetics of the book stay intact.

I never learned to take notes. Like what am I even supposed to denote? Just rewriting what the author said but now it's on another piece of paper?

While I want to agree with this along with OP, it’s worth noting that studies show people only retain something like 20% probably even less of the information in the first read or listen. You need to go through it multiple times to get a full picture and note taking can dramatically help the process of retention. And another part of me wants to tell you to fucking kill yourself for once again shilling anti-intellectualism and learning. You fucking stupid faggot.

Taking notes while you read is for midwits.

True /lit/fags reflect on their reading during their nightly journaling ritual desu

Start with quotations that you like. If you have anything to note on the topic, even if it's a couple of words, add it.
I take notes with every book I read, fiction or not.
