Excellent video!

One more tip. Re-read. If you have liked the book, re-read it immediately. You will pick up more immediately because you are already familiar with the plot, the characters, the setting and the structure. This is especially true of books with complex structures (such as Nabokov's _Pale Fire_), and even ones with twists. As you know what is coming, you can see how the author lead you along, and sprung that twist on you. You get a better appreciation of the author's skill, and how books are structured.

Corollary: If you have read the book in translation, when you re-read it, read it by another translator. Not everything can be translated, but sometimes the untranslatable comes across when you read the nuances/variance between different translators.

Well guys, I was an avid reader when I was young but life stepped in and I got old. I'm 70 and just got started reading again. I got several books (hard to get in the country I live in) AND my first Kindle. I read 15 books in the first month. Joined in the book community and this channel is one of my favorites. I'm reading diverse material and hope to continue my journey. I may not get all the books read but I'm going to have a good time😅. Thanks for this great video, such great tips! (And I made a book review journal too)

I like that you urge us to not skip ahead. I’ve found that my attention span has dwindled over the years, much to the detriment of my reading, and that reminder to consciously slow down is one that I can certainly extend to my books. There are so many things in the modern world that are constantly vying for our attention, that deteriorate our ability to just sit with a single thing, to read deliberately and without distraction.

Sometimes I like forgetting books, but always remember an impression they made on me.
Love to reread from those in the perspective of different ages of life.

I've begun annotating Moby Dick, and now I find myself thinking about it all day long, long after I've closed the book for the day. Wonderful advice! My son had a classical home education steeped in literature, the Bible, the arts. He married a young woman who had a lackluster public school education, and reading for fun was foreign. Since they married, he began to read aloud to her, and two years later she's fallen in love with the Brontes and Austen. I'm so happy for her -- for them both. We loved reading aloud to our kids, and now it will be a part of their family life as well.

This is Brilliant! I love these ideas so much!!! I always say, "I cannot read without a pen, " and it's true! Every time I sit down to read I need 3 things: my book, eyeglasses, and a red pen. Its got to be red. Last night I finished Gissing's "The Odd Women" around midnight or so and then went to sleep. This morning when I woke up, I lay in bed for awhile thinking about it, allowing the story to rummage about, and some really interesting thoughts came to the surface. How I love literature! 🥰

I have fine copies and working copies of all my classic books. I love Everyman's Library editions for the shelf in the living room, and have secondhand paperbacks kept in the spare bedroom for annotations. I will add another tip. In your reading journal, draw a character map that shows the connections between characters. These can be very absorbing to design and create.

I’ve recently started annotating more deeply when I read. I used to write with a pencil in the margins sometimes but now I use tabs, a highlighter, and a pen and take notes at the end of each chapter. I cannot stress enough how much this has increased my enjoyment of the book I’m reading, and my memory! I usually watch a video about the book after I’ve read it, but now I’m gonna start adding more of your tips to my annotating. Thank you!

[lenkajf]

This was one of the most valuable videos on reading I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much 😊

[philnasmith]

I find mind maps extremely valuable - it creates a visual image that helps me understand and remember the relationship between concepts.

[sarahj]

I would never skip through your videos! Even if I have to pause and come back to watch later I always watch them all. I learn so much!

[mungoslade]

i've been keeping a book diary for the last 5 years. i'm very hit-and-miss on the books i write about, but those books i take the time with are BY FAR the best remembered books of the last 5 years! i really want to be more diligent about the good books i read in the years to come

[KellyOstrem]

I almost always annotate and write about the nonfiction books I read, but not the fiction books. I am going to start doing that! Love your videos! Thank you! 😊

[stephengoodman]

My first reaction to the title was “read better books” 😄. Great video though, I’ve been enjoying a lot of your content recently.

[martinelanglois]

Sometimes I read to my cat. He doesn't interrupt, mind or even care but I remember more what I read. I am a fan of annotating and copying passages, words to look up, etc. Every little bit helps. Thanks for this great video.❤📚

[nayandas]

To be frank....i was about to skip from point to point 😅 but i trusted on your claim of finding the source of gold...and to my surprise i found the very source ❤ thank you sir.

[SebastianMarin-kc]

this videos should receive more support. Because give learnings very valuable.
i say in my case, this video i opened the door in my mind

[troyf]

I actually enjoy reading or watching a review before reading a book. I find it gives things to look forward to or pay attention to throughout.

[spiritblood]

Writing 3 key things about characters sounds like such a good idea! I always struggle to associate character to name, even if I’ve had a wonderful introduction to them on the same page.

I’ve tried annotation but hate to carry a pencil on me enough to really commit to doing so, and find I have insecurity in the literary ‘quality’ of my annotations. I’ll look forward to your annotation video, and perhaps be convinced the pencil would be worth it!

Very helpful advice for readers new to challenging books.
