That’s good to hear, Lori. It confirms what I’m thinking, that taking the time to do this and considering books as long-term investments pays dividends when you’re coming to write, create, think or plan. It doesn’t take much to seal a book into your memory.

i actually make a file on my computer and make “book notes” for any nonfiction i read — and if i buy a nonfiction book, i highlight it and write notes in the margin as well! i consider them my own personal textbooks, not for sharing with other people (although i recommend, i just don’t loan out my copy) and not for passing on to the thrift store — i put them on the shelf and they become resources i can refer back to.

now, fiction, that i tend to forget immediately! ;o)

I love this image, Aunt Barb–I love seeing this addiction passed from generation to generation.

Thanks, Renee! I think it helped me to think about the joy that could come by reading more deeply–not just the guilt of feeling like I was doing it “wrong”

Isn’t it amazing? I was so impressed by the installations in the city’s museum–there were several floors showing different stages of the city’s history.

I suffer from the same problem, thanks for sharing and will try to practice the art of intentional reading

Your grandmother kept a little black book. (which I now possess) It had loads of information, names, addresses, birthdays, anniversaries, etc – which I transferred to the computer for myself. It also included lists of books – books she’d read, books to read. I want to become more intentional about that too. To jot down authors I have enjoyed, books I’ve loved! Like you, sometimes I inhale! But what a joy our inherited love of books is!
