i skim-read a lot of books to choose what books feel good to commit to.
some of those books, i read “normally”. some i make a little project out of.
for these “project” books, i pair up the book with a small companion notebook. i fill the notebook with words + passages + ideas i get from the book. i open these notebooks months/years later to spark ideas.
this is not homework. this is for enjoyment.
