Olivia, I agree, with some books, keeping a notebook would feel like recopying half the book. But sometimes I wish I would slow down enough to do that, to copy each amazing word and phrase and paragraph…before I was on to the next book.

Welcome to Catching Days. I hope you’ll be back.

Darrelyn, somehow I missed this comment. You know we’ve had this discussion before–writing in books. Mine are all marked up. On occasion, I’ve bought a fresh copy of a marked-up book. Still, I don’t think I’m “ruining” them : ) I started out keeping a notebook, but the volume of my underlinings got away from me. I go back to the notebook from time to time. And yes, I like Kindle’s underline feature, but I am having SUCH A HARD TIME enjoying reading on Kindle or iPad. I want the real book.

Seriously, it was a brilliant read, full of great passages like the ones you excerpted here.

I’m sure I’ve ruined a few with marks, so I have started to jot down passages in a notebook. But old habits die hard.

Kindle’s feature to underline passages is nice. And I use it often. In fact, I’m reading The Forgotten Waltz on my Kindle. I have lots of notes and I’ve only just begun to read it.
