Don't be scared writing in or marking up your books. I just saw a Ryan Holiday video at Daily Stoic. He says, "As I'm reading, I'm either highlighting or writing in the margins. If anyone does this with my books, I consider it to be an honour. You're supposed to be in an argument or discussion. It's a 2-way communication with the author." Hope that helps. :)
I'm so glad that someone else does the important quotes up the top as well! It's super handy for essays, especially when there are so many annotations in the book itself
Okay I just found this video, and haven't seen you at all before, but I saw Mark in the background, panicked, and immediately clicked the like button...
This has really motivated me to step up my academic annotations! I’m so intrigued about your wind up bird chronicle study manual annotations and I was wondering if you would ever consider making a video on how you did it or if you continue to do it with other Murakami’s if you would film the process?
I might read a ntm book and annotate the way passages will make me feel. And on my reread, I annotate key themes of the book. Thoroughly enjoyed your video!!!
I love this. I want to annotate but agree that it takes me out of story. I’m Going to try the read through / dog ear and then go back and add thoughts. Brilliant.
i know this is 4 years old but finally. i want to academically annotate because im not a reader but a writer who reads. i want to understand books as literature, not as stories but there are no resources for that.
This was so helpful for me. I’m reading Almanac of the Dead and there’s so much to unpack that I started annotating for the first time. I’ll use some of tips, thanks:) (I also love how diverse your reading is!!! I need to read Ovid’s Metamorphosis).
I LOVE dog earring - which I guess is frowned upon? Lol I never knew that was a thing. I feel like it just gives books a little more character and shows it was loved 🥰
My Books are loved but I do not dog ear or mark them in any way. The only thing in my books are the bookmark. Makes me feel cold inside when I see people write in and mark books.
@@mj-yn1zn honestly I do both. I have some hardcover illustrated books that I protect them from anything, but I annotate non fiction and I use dog earrings for normal books.
I also always dog ear the books i read for school!! Most of the time i'm not that passionnate about them so I feel the same, I don't want to get out of it cuz i might not be able to get back in.. Plus it forces me to reread pages, which makes me register the book more!
As someone working in the disability field I’m so intrigued by “Good Kings Bad Kings” and I really love your copy of Jane Eyre! I am on my first read through and I definitely want to go back through and annotate to help me analyze and understand it
This video saved my life in so many ways, thank you so much! Your annotating method seems really effective, I'll definitely try it out. (Also, great to see a fellow nctzen who is also a reader 💚)
I started annotating recently and i used to tab just romantic stuff♥️😂, and as you I think I just annotate when I am rereading😳 because now I know in what I want to focus on
Hello Kate... This was a very helpful video. Thanks for sharing your ways of doing annotations, it's interesting. I just simply underline the text I like and put a tab there while I am reading. I never write in a book though, if I have any thoughts I put a sticky note and write on that.
Okay, but when you said you annotate differently based on the book itself I was like **star eyes** ... and then you held up Kafka by the Shore and I was like **major star eyes**
HOLY SH*T ....🤯😯😻 Really Helpful Tips...never thought I could personally agree to the annotation technique of others mostly coz it's personal but I sooo am impressed by your way!! Hands down the most effective annotating technique👍👌😏
i'm about to read Le Gone du Chaâba by Azouz Begag for the literature component of my French class and i might use the dog-earing trick! i do know the questions i need to answer in advance, but still, it will be useful to find things afterward.
That's actually a unique and cool way to annotate your book! I mean most reader who annotate their books usually put some tabs on the side of the page and not on top. I think I'm gonna copy your style if that's okay? 😅📚💕
I know some people do annotations plus keep certain things they are tracking or looking at for class in reading notebooks. Is that something you do also? If so, would you ever do a video walking through that process too?
Is THAT how you pronounce Eurydice? I have always wondered... Love the way you annotate by the way. I also like to do things like tracking something that happens a lot in a book when I'm rereading.
how can i even consentrate with the kpopies in the back? i thought the astro lightstick was lit up and i was like....damn thats a waste of bateries lmao
i have this comment: you just flash the open book with the annotations on it. that doesn't show : a) the content of your annotations based on the actual paragraph; b) how do you attach the tabs on the pages, they were just stickies to the paper ???, because i saw those blue rectangular stickies inside the open book pages. i guess that was too tedious and/ or personal to exemplify maybe ill get to an author to help me with annotations i was trying to say.. the annotation is your summary of a paragraph or a copy of the original text . i get it at some point these two will get a degree of redundancy... thank you
my method is uniquely academic, yet it responds to my spirit. for example: I read Wizard of Oz the book is pretty clean with almost nothing, and I recently read 1984 the book is the most chaotic book ever from my bookshelf.
Is this an American thing. I don't know anyone in the UK that annotates books that are read for pleasure. Studying yes , but even then I didn't write in my text books when I did my Degree. I just CANNOT mark my book in any way.
I don’t think it’s just an American thing haha. I’m from England and I annotate my books for pleasure (although, I only started this recently because i find I get more out of it that way) I only write in pencil though because I’m waaaaay too much of a wuss to use a pen haha.
Your stare into the camera as you knew viewers collectively raged about the dog ear-ing killed me lolllll.

Mortimer Adler: How to read a book
As an English and Latin professor, people annotating for fun warms the cockles of my heart, especially seeing that you are a fellow academic.
I'm so glad that someone else does the important quotes up the top as well! It's super handy for essays, especially when there are so many annotations in the book itself

@@racheldemain1940 I definitely respect that! It’s also good to see books be kept in great condition!
@@OSarahKate I'm always so torn between wanting to destroy my books or keep them in amazing condition 😭

Thank you, this was excellent! I feel super stupid but 're-reading' was such a Eureka! -moment for me XD
A fellow super M Stan waaaa
Mark lee in the background caught my eye 👀
This video is very helpful! When you said you dog ear a page that broke my heart
HOLY SH*T ....🤯😯😻 Really Helpful Tips...never thought I could personally agree to the annotation technique of others mostly coz it's personal but I sooo am impressed by your way!! Hands down the most effective annotating technique👍👌😏
Lol I relate to the struggle of reading metamorphoses by Ovid, except I had to read it in Latin, translating to English. Fun stuff.
Obrigada! me ajudou.
Would you ever consider selling some of your old annotated books? I love reading others’ thoughts while they were reading

Mary Jane Caneo go for it!! That’s exactly why I made this video ☺️
Kate Pfeil thanks! 😊
Such a neat system :D Thanks for sharing!
really interesting video! thank you kate!
I also put sticky notes at the top of the book but more for scenes that made me cry 😂😂
I just came from that video.
It's not color coded, but the color of the sticky tabs matches the book.
I know some people do annotations plus keep certain things they are tracking or looking at for class in reading notebooks. Is that something you do also? If so, would you ever do a video walking through that process too?

DarkestwingsReads yes that’s how you pronounce it at least according to my professor! 😂
@@murakamireads Wow my brain has been pronouncing it super wrong. I'm glad I never said it out loud lol
sis i saw mark lee and now you have a new suscriber
Thank you so much this video was very informative and helpful 😍
NCTZEN BOOKWORM YESSSSSSS
Just wondering. What kind of tabs do you buy?
Wanted to tell you that I’m reading “Tell the Wolfs I’m Home and I’m LOVING it!!!
pattiecake11 the colorful tabs you see are all DOLLAR TREE tabs! They’re personally my absolute favorite and happen to be wicked cheap lol
how can i even consentrate with the kpopies in the back? i thought the astro lightstick was lit up and i was like....damn thats a waste of bateries lmao
mark looking at me throughout the video: 😒😗
Great video! Btw, who is that behind you? Haruki's son?:)
The guy on the blue album is Mark Lee from NCT, if that's what your asking?
¨i DonT wANT To ComPARE iT tO tHE bIBle¨ lmao i died
Reason why i continue watching this vid coz mark is staring at me 🙄 HAHAHAHHAHA
Me too lol
I don’t annotate directly onto my books, I prefer to write what I want on sticky notes and stick it onto the book pages.
i have this comment: you just flash the open book with the annotations on it. that doesn't show : a) the content of your annotations based on the actual paragraph; b) how do you attach the tabs on the pages, they were just stickies to the paper ???, because i saw those blue rectangular stickies inside the open book pages. i guess that was too tedious and/ or personal to exemplify maybe ill get to an author to help me with annotations i was trying to say.. the annotation is your summary of a paragraph or a copy of the original text . i get it at some point these two will get a degree of redundancy... thank you
my method is uniquely academic, yet it responds to my spirit. for example: I read Wizard of Oz the book is pretty clean with almost nothing, and I recently read 1984 the book is the most chaotic book ever from my bookshelf.
I literally do up top tabs for super important themes I wanna be able to flip to easily especially in my Christian nonfic r u kidding me
Halley Reads WTF DO YOU ??
Kate Pfeil YES I WILL LITERALLY SHOW YOU WHEN I GET HOME
Is this an American thing. I don't know anyone in the UK that annotates books that are read for pleasure. Studying yes , but even then I didn't write in my text books when I did my Degree. I just CANNOT mark my book in any way.
