How to Write in a Book
Learn how to practice "active reading"; write in books.
This workshop illustrates and demonstrates a technique for writing in books for the purposes of "active reading". The only reason one has been taught not to write in books is because the books were literally valuable and intended to be shared. Through an active reading process -- the writing in books -- one can review, retain, and comprehend so much more even with a single pass over a text.
Akin to diagraming sentences, the techniques described in this workshop enables you to quickly and easily identify names, dates, definitions, numbers, citations, examples, bulleted lists, numbered lists, quotes, hyperlinks, items of questionable authority, items of interest, and items of person noteworthiness in any printed thing markable with a pencil or pen.
Get more out of your reading. Write in books.
