We all know that reading is fundamental to a splendid life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what about writing about what you’ve read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s right amigo – I’m talking about reading journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people consider them tedious, but I respectfully disagree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather, I believe they’re a crucial and oft-overlooked part of the reading process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only do they help you to remember what you’ve read, but provide a chance to reflect on the author’s intentions and your own reaction to the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let’s grab a pen and a notebook, and start journaling our way to infinity and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A reading journal is a delightful way to torture yourself with introspection and creativity simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a place to document your thoughts, reactions, and insights about the books you read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It can also serve as a log of the books you’ve read, characters you’ve met, and quotes you want to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people like to do this digitally, while others prefer the traditional self-flagellation of writing with pen and paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
