Sketching notes for reading

Michelle January 10, 2019

Just when I thought I couldn’t be a slower reader, I’ve added a notebook to my reading habit.

I don’t know about you but when I read it often goes in one eye and out the other. My recall, or potentially my memory-making abilities when reading seems very poor. I’m not sure these notes will help me overall - it’s not like I have the pressure of a future exam or quiz to force me to take all the important parts of a text into my brain; but I do find that taking note of the things that interest me do encourage the information to stick a bit better - even if it’s the notes I recall, not the everything in the book itself.

Over the Christmas break I read Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It was chock-full of really interesting stories and bits of information that would sure to be handy but flipped if I can remember anything of them now the book is finished. If I had taken note of those tid-bits as I came across them I think I would have a better show for my time.

Let’s see how I go from here. I am currently reading Autonomy: The Quest to Build the Driverless Car and am taking notes along the way.

Patriot

Michelle January 4, 2019

Patriot, on Amazon Prime Video is a MUST. For the Love of Glob, watch it on a big screen because it’s cinematically gorgeous, utterly charming, thrillingly tense at times, and has wonderful character development. Truly wonderful.

I’m about to do a second- go-around but thought I’d make sure you knew you should be watching Patriot if you haven’t already.

My buddy Toothless here, woke me up at 2.50am watching tv in the living room. He had the volume at an increasingly inconsiderate level. So i took the remote from him and turned tv off and told him to go. To. Sleep. Not on the remote this time.
