#Annotate a book how to
So I’m more likely to annotate a book club book. As we have some in-depth discussions about these books, I want to really get into them. There’s time-stamps for the video below, so feel free to jump around and go to the parts that interest you the most because, at just under 40 minutes, this is a long (but worthwhile) video. Firstly, I’d annotate books I’m reading for a book club. Annotations can be added to note observations, highlight a reader’s favorite passage, insert commentary or analysis, or to raise questions that the reader would like to revisit. Such notes are usually found in the margins of a text. We look at fiction, non-fiction, poetry, philosophy and more. You can annotate books (both fiction and nonfiction), poems, articles, and even images. We’re talking about everything from creating indexes to reading synoptically. This video breaks down my system for marginalia, marking and annotating books. It took me years before I realised that the sign of true love for a book, and respect for its author, is to make its pages as dirty with inky thoughts as possible. Write down any questions you have about the text.
Write it down at the beginning or end of the chapter. You only need a few sentences to do this. Paraphrase (summarize) each chapter after you finish reading it. Most readers are hesitant to begin marking their books, and I completely sympathise. Write your notes in the margins (best method), on sticky-notes (decent method), or in a separate notebook (least favorable method). The question I get asked the most is: how do you mark and annotate your books for effective note-taking?
