Books

No. I read the entire book and then forget everything. Nowdays i try to at least jot down my thoughts in a post reading review so i can go back and see what i thought about the book but I even forget that sometimes.

I only did it in the past when I was reading for school, but I'd like to start annotating this year because it helps me really engage critically with the story!

My way of notetaking before was highlighting passages/quotes, or writing small little notes about my thoughts. For example, if something a character said or did related back to an important theme, I'd highlight that and make a small note of it. If a description of the setting emphasized the mood/atmosphere of the story, I'd highlight it and make another note. If I morally disagreed with a character's actions or if their actions disagreed with the narrative, I'd make note of that. Etc., etc.

I never take notes, but I make frequent use of the glossary and search function on e-books to go back and refer to things I might have misunderstood or want to refresh my memory on

I might jot down my thoughts after a reading session or between chapters, but not taking notes like I would do for studying... More like bullet points of things I would bring up in a book club, or questions or ideas I want to remember for next time, or my own rambling musings triggered by an idea from the book. I rarely read those notes again, just writing them down is satisfying enough. I wouldn't want to stop the experience just to do diligent note-taking, but to each their own.

Sometimes I even skip or skim parts on a first read through and then read more thoroughly when I'm acquainted with the world, story and characters, it's easier to pick up conplicated history or lore once I've gotten the main story out of the way.

Sometimes, but only really for characters / locations, and more at the beginning than the end.

I'm in stormlight 5 myself just now, and I stopped doing notes after book 3 I think? Similar for The Expanse, a couple years ago.
