There's nothing like finding a good book you can't put down.
the Stoicism book I picked up is wonderful, super excited to continue reading it. I may have chanced myself upon picking up 3 books that'll be impossible to put down with my most recent trip to the book store.
I got Take Me to Your Leader by NDGT which you all know he's my favourite author alive because he explains complex science in the simplest way possible. Then I also picked up a book called "KING" which is about Martin Luther King Jr. and I know for a fact I am going to absorb that book like a sponge.
When I come across books I want to remember what I do is I grab a black ink pen and underline any sentences that strike me as fascinating. There are tons of marked history books, science books, and even plays throughout my library.
Sometimes when I don't want to read the whole book again, I'll just open it up and flip through a few chapters and read what I underlined the first time.
My copy of the Iliad is heavily underlined. I was in Poetry during College and on the side I was reading through the Iliad and I would underline sentences that struck my fancy then do what my teacher taught me at the beginning of the class.
That was to reconstruct other peoples sentences into your own words by copying them and changing a few pieces of work. Mainstream artists often do this to my work, coincidentally. But anyway, my final project that course was an epic telling of a battle between Roman soldiers using my own imagination + a few lines stolen from the Iliad describing a sword cutting through someones belly.
I'm highly thinking that I will be underlining my Martin Luther King Jr. book often.
