当我们拿到一本书的时候，我们应当仔细阅读其序言、前言、后记等，然后研究其目录，看看每一章的开头和结尾，以获得对这一本书的总体印象。这大概就是 Adler 所谓的第二层之系统性浏览。之后，我们便凭着自己的兴趣点仔细阅读每一章节，甚至每一段落、每一句子、每一词语。这大概就是 Adler 所谓的第三层之分析阅读。
这两个过程中当然都需要做笔记，但我不太喜欢总结中心思想这种行为。一本足够复杂的书不可能只有一个主题、一个观点、一种思想。一本好书应当是你取之不尽的矿藏，它的每一个角落都有可能吸引你的注意。你可以随时针对任何一个段落记录自己的所思，或者记录任何自己想记录的片段。

One of key ideas is that we don’t necessary to copy down lots of words from the text, because that won’t engage our brain. This means that the main purpose of taking notes is not to accurately record information, but to better understand the content of the text.
For me, the most useful method mentioned in that article is to take notes from memory: read a small section, then leave the book, write down what our read in the memory in our own language; write the main content, don’t have to worry about the details; return to the book after writing, and check to see if there are any omissions or discrepancies. The purpose of this is to force ourselves to think about the content of the book, not to take notes for the sake of taking notes.

The first reason is for note-taking—recording what I read, think, and do. Use words to record my changes over time. Of course, note-taking applications such as EverNote, Notion, etc. can also achieve this purpose. But I hope that my notes are public so that everyone in the world can read them for free and accept their comments. Therefore, a blog is my best choice. In addition, I enjoy writing in plain text. It gives me complete power over the text editing, and there is no “secret” in the plain text—I believe that even after a hundred years, it can still be easily interpreted by people and programs. In this way, I only need a static website generator to convert these plain texts into web pages. Because I am a heavy user of GitHub, and GitHub Pages provides a free hosting service, and Jekyll is the default generator of GitHub Pages, so Jekyll+GitHub Pages has become my first choice.
Besides, if a person needs to leave something after his/her death, I think a blog with rich content is a good legacy, it is the evidence that the person has come to the world.
A. Jesse Jiryu Davis’ post gave me great inspiration for blogging.
