What is your process for reading a book?

Do you read Sparknotes of the content you've already read? Do you look up study questions that facilitate furrher, more comprehensive digestion of the content?

Personally, I write excerpts, quotes, notes, etc. in a notebook as I read. IMO, annotating in a notebook is better and more concise than annotating in the book; it makes finding a specific page/passage/quote much easier.
