The importance of marking a book

The importance of marking a book

Why is marking a book indispensable to reading it?Β 

First, it keeps you awake, not merely conscious, but wide awake.Β 

Second, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The person who says he knows what he thinks but cannot express it usually does not know what he thinks.

Third, writing your reactions down helps you to remember the thoughts of the author.

The book is yours

Full ownership of a book only comes when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of itβ€” which comes to the same thingβ€” is by writing in it.

Marking a book is literally an expression of your differences or your agreements with the author. It is the highest respect you can pay him.

The book is yours and the only real objective is transferring the knowledge from the author to you.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
