Nope. I read for entertainment these days.
But, if I was at work and/or reading a technical document or reference book, I'd be marking up like crazy.

I bogged down early in the book. The writing style is wordy, tedious and archaic. I'm sure I could get used to it if I persevered.
But there are too many other books I want to read that I know I will enjoy without having to work for it.
I split them by Genre - Science Fiction, Fantasy, Historical Fiction & Misc.
Bold Font is for books I'll need to buy. Regular Font for Kindle Unlimited selections.
I keep the list on a word doc at work and a physical list in my billfold
That is pretty much the entire system. About 35 titles on the list currently. Some titles though are the 1rst books of multiple book series or trilogies.
There has been so many over the years, but some favorites that come to mind right now are:
-
The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castaneda
-
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson
-
Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins
I don't regret reading any book. I'll try most anything. I may not finish some, but "regret" never enters the equation.
I see every book as a learning opportunity. Will I or will I not revisit this author and his / her works.?
That looks like something I might be interested in. Thanks for recco.
The book didn't work for you. Big deal...move on to something else. I can pretty much guarantee though that someone out there loves this book, lol.
