I Learned to Read After College 02/10/2008
![]() In May I graduated from college, 6 months later I learned how to read. CommentsCody Tue, 12 Feb 2008 18:05:54 Hey man. I love reading your blogs keep it up.First of all, I know you may not believe this but I have really gotten in to reading lately, this is probably cuz' I am still in high school and can pick what I read. I just finished Blue Like Jazz, and I thought it was pretty good. I just started and am about half way through a book called 'Into the Wild'. I was wondering if you had read it, and if not I think you should give it a shot.Secondly, I just wanted to say i enjoy your stuff and I love you. Keep it real man. Collin Wed, 13 Feb 2008 12:35:52 Hi Beau, I enjoy your blog. And this is a great method for retaining info from books! I also really appreciated the google documents introduction, I'd never seen it before, but I'll definitely use it in the future... Let me know when you're in the springs if you ever are this semester! Jeff Thu, 13 Mar 2008 23:45:16 I agree whole-heartedly with the ideas. In school, it's all forced. When you read on your own in life, it's a different ballgame completely. Personally I wouldn't generate all the documenting of what I read, but I do agree with the ability to go back and summarize in personalized words "what you get out of it"..

Thanks. Cymon Fri, 21 Mar 2008 21:21:30 I have a suggestion that makes the process quicker and easier, and doesn't deface the book. Rather than underlining or highlighting noteworthy passages, I simply make a small dot with a pencil in the margin next to what I want to come back to. Usually I also jot down the page numbers that have my dots on them, either on a piece of paper I use as a bookmark, or on a blank page at the end of the book, or on the inside cover. Later I return to those pages to take notes, and I find that the dots in the margins are sufficient to point me to the phrase or passage I need -- it's not necessary to make extensive marks in the text itself. If it's a borrowed book then I make the dots (and page numbers if I write them in the book) very light so they're easy to erase when I'm done with my notes. All in all this saves time, effort and damage to the book. Mon, 05 May 2008 00:47:39 <a href="http://www.nishikou-syoutengai.com/akutoku.html">出会い系 悪徳業者</a> Leave a Reply |
