Zane Graham’s Reviews > How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading > Status Update

Finished, just working on my reflection, and reviewing notes.

Started using the methods taught in this book. This slowed my reading, but my understanding & focus is improved. This book claims that the purpose of note-taking & marking up a book is not about learning, but is a measurement of your attention while reading. So the primary function of taking notes, highlighting, annotating and etc. are not to learn better, but to focus better (which happens to help with learning)

Much more enlightening in my re-read, especially with some knowledge of platonic philosophy. Doing some quick research I realized the author was an Aristotelian so of course I was going to see some dialectical philosophy going on.
