Book Notes

Note

I try to collect all my notes in Evernote, which I use as my primary means of storage. For simplicity’s sake, I’ve hyperlinked each book to my notes kept in Evernote. That means (1) I don’t have to maintain two copies of the same note, and (2) I’ll be much better about sharing and updating my notes here.

That said, I am so behind in linking them all, so if you want me to share notes on a book, either recommend I read it or tell me to hurry up and post my notes!

This page is split into two sections

  1. Curated reading lists—These are work-in-progress lists of books by theme
  2. Book notes in alphabetical order—Exactly as it sounds. Click the title to expand the notes.

Two notes on how I’ve taken notes:

  1. I split up my notetaking with the following colors:
    • Black—Paraphrased text
    • Blue—My own thoughts
    • Green—Direct quotes from the book, so I don’t have to put quotation marks around things, especially embedded quotes or conversations
  2. I’m much more thorough with physical books, and my audiobooks are on 2X speed and usually while I’m driving. Quality suffers. I’ll note when I listened to an audiobook.
