So I have 'just started reading'. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I've realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I'm really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I've kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they've read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?

If it's about a topic I'm studying or I find something worth noting, I may take notes, but usually not. I actually like forgetting some details, as if it's a book that I love I will probably re-read it in the future. I know that some people like to annotate their books, though I personally don't (I tried it and now feel very guilty). That may be something you would like, or you can dedicate a notebook to taking notes on books.

Also, I am very happy to hear you're getting into reading!
