It is a more effective way to learn words.              There is not a whole lot of room to write in the margins in most books. Your       writing style must be very small and neat! But I have done something similar       when certain words and phrases impressed me. I kept a separate journal with       notes for each particular book. Then, I'd revisit my notes and try to use those        words and phrases in regular conversation to either impress or freak people       out.              The first book I started doing that with was "Dracula - Bram Stoker", many many        years ago! I thought the language in there was amazing, and fun to trip-up       other people with.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101       Thunderbird/60.9.1        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 2 16/101 18/0 19/10 36 34/999 90/1 104/115       SEEN-BY: 106/201 114/224 702 705 706 116/18 116 123/0 25 50 140 150       SEEN-BY: 123/755 128/2 73 187 253 135/300 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 222/2 227/114 229/354 426 1014 230/150 152       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512 267/155       SEEN-BY: 275/100 280/5003 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 298/25 305/1 3 310/2       SEEN-BY: 312/2 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13 200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 460/58 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105       SEEN-BY: 3005/1 3634/0 12 15 27 50 5020/715 1042       PATH: 221/360 1 640/1384 3634/12 261/38 15/0 317/3 229/426           |
