this, I'm curious since it seems it could help if you read long books

Well if you have problems with digesting the text, then of course it helps. People always want to speed through books, and forget the pleasures of going slow and actually thinking about what you've read.

I do it sometimes when reading historical books. Helps to create a little story in the head. Not sure how that would be beneficial to fiction

I had this class where we'd read Horace's Odes, Propertius' works and Ovid's, etc. The exams would ask for very precise information about the texts, like "explain Cynthia being rescued by a dolphin in Propertius' 23rd elegy" and stuff like that. The questions were so precise and could be applied to such a vast corpus of text, that one had to know, for example, every single ode Horace ever wrote, and understand it completely.

The method I used was reading each piece of text (by paragraph when we worked on the Satyricon) was rewording what I'd just read, then adding comments. It forces you to understand exactly what is going on in what you're reading and you end up with a way deeper understanding of the text.

I mean, I had to write two page precis for a couple of theory books. It didn't really help. There's too much information to be condensed into something like that.

Hey I do that too! Not whole books, but certain chapters. It's pretty fun actually.

Yeah it is really helpful, specially if your studying for an exam. Humans tend to forget stuff, so its best to write important points down so you can revise them later.

Obviously don't do this during the first reading or it will kill your joy of reading the text. But on the second reading definitely.

>Humans tend to forget stuff
This absolutely. Not only do we forget stuff we also create false memories.

>>9431485
Yes, I remember reading about that.

Or do I?
