I so don't have time to revisit books that I've already read. I'd probably be embarrassed by my earlier naiveté.

Yeah I don’t understand highlighting/marking up books

Who actually has time to go back and look at that?

It’s like taking photos of fireworks

  • For many, the act of note taking, highlighting and marking up enhances the value of the reading. Revisiting is secondary.

    This is eminently true for me. I rarely revisit notes, but if I take notes I have a much better recall and understanding than if I just consume the content.
