Each year I keep a running log of the books I read. When I read non-fiction I also, generally, take a good deal of notes. These are a mix of summaries, quotes, and interesting tidbits I pick up. It’s an imperfect system but from time to time I turn those notes into a summary. For ease of organization I’ve linked to these below in alphabetical order.
