How do you study literature

Veeky Forums

This is probably even worse in the eyes of you people, but instead of underlining passages I like, I type them out on my compooper and save them into a text file and every once in a while I read them all for fun.

That's better than scribbling right on the page for sure

Not bad. I've been coming here since Veeky Forums began and I honestly don't give a rat's ass what most people on here think.

Why would you think that Veeky Forums would shit on you for that? There is nothing inherently wrong with that. You are aggregating them all into one file so you can skim through a lot of different thoughts that resonated with you quickly without having to go from book to book all the time. That's a fine idea. That quick association of ideas might further help to give you some ideas of your own along the way.

Unless you're 12, you clearly don't have the constitution for it.

No

No

No. Just remember them

The memorable parts

No
>To what extent should you study the book?
Read essays about it

Basically this:

Ignore everyone telling you to "read what you want" or "read what interests you". Read the books listed in Bloom's The Western Canon.

I have a goodpoems.txt.

Ignore this user and instead just read what you want or interests you.
