What Is Going On Here?
As my wife will readily tell you (as she gently chides me to put away the stacks of books laying around the house), I love reading. I almost always have two (sometime three) books going at one time.
Around 2014 I started keeping a list of the books I had read. Getting older, and reading so many books all the time, I was having trouble remembering which books I had already read.
Keeping a list of books read seemed like a great idea!
And it worked for a long while, but then I realized a new problem: I was having trouble remembering what some of the books were about.
(This also coincided with me getting even older, but that seems like just a coincidence, right?)
I was often making notes to myself in the book margins, or saving my Kindle notes, but there was no way for me to remind myself about key concepts from books without going back to the book itself.
This was great for books I still had, but I’m also very high on minimizing the amount of stuff in my space, so I often go through “give away” binges and clear out old books.
So in 2016, after reading about Derek Sivers doing something similiar, I started keeping copies of my notes from books I’ve read here.
If you have any book recommendations, or thoughts on any of the notes I’ve shared, I’d love to hear them: mark@markdurrenberger.com
