It's nice to see when people take their time with books rather than blasting through a pile of them. Your annotating shows how much you try to draw from the works of authors. I really appreciate that approach :)
Thank you! I think it really makes a difference, and I like to go back and check what I was reading after a few months.
So much time investing into reading and so rewarding afterwards☺️🌹
And you showed one of my favourite book!!! War and piece… I’m melting as this book from our school curriculum which was long time ago…😊
It's become one of my favorites! I think I might have to make a whole video on it because I need to talk about it. I'm reading Anna Karenina next.
@@TheLinguistsLibrary Anna Karenina - perfect choice of Classics👌
Thanks for explaining your method of annotation. I appreciate it so much! I am starting to tab more than I usually do and love the idea of noting in the front of the book what color tabs were used and for what purposes. I will be doing that now too. Very helpful.
Thank you for watching! I'll make more of these reader-friendly tips videos. I was just at your channel, love a good book haul.
My boy Tolstoy. ❤
I never know what to annotate in books, and I find it difficult to critically analyse texts so I've never tabbed a book before - up until recently (only tabbed words I don't know the meanings of, especially since it's a classic novel). I really like your annotating style, great informative video :)
Thank you for watching. I think it is a very fluid thing, I don't tab every book I read. But it does help with the overall feeling of enjoyment, specially when you find quotes you want to return to in the far future.
5:37 I meant to say Nathan here. Daniel is the MC of another book I read recently:
The Shadow of the Wind

Your video came at the perfect time for me because I've been wanting to discuss book annotations too! I love annotating books and seeing how other readers annotate theirs, so thank you for sharing! I couldn't help but laugh when you mentioned that you feel good about your reading after finishing Dostoyevsky and now tackling Tolstoy. It's funny how reading these books gives us that sense of achievement, lol. I'm only in the first few chapters of "Crime and Punishment," and I totally relate! Each chapter feels like a little victory, haha.
I love how you match colors and keep things aesthetically pleasing, hahah. My OCD brain really appreciates that!
Thank you for recommending "The Healer of the Water Monster," it sounds intriguing! Regarding annotating real people and events, do you read about them afterwards? or simultaneously? I ask because I mark these things too, but if I don’t check it right away, then, unless I have a specific reason like writing about it or something, I never revisit those annotations-but I really want to. I'm curious about your approach.
Also, love your dog, by the way! Now, I'm heading straight to your "Norwegian Wood" video, I finished it not too long ago so I'm curious to hear your take on it.
Thank you. My annotations of real people lately are part of a larger study I'm doing on Western Literature. One of the other things I keep count of but not necessarily tabs is the mentioning of mythology and biblical references.
Thank you for a lovely and inspiring video.
I find that some types of tabs do damage the pages of certain types of paper when trying to remove the tabs. Do you ever have this challenge? If so, what do you do?
Thank you for your comment. I use 'Corner Office by Jot' for both sticker and sticky note and the glue doesn't damage paper. Super recommend
I wonder what she would think about Mr. Fix It and Miss Sue book?
Why?
