Reading a text is sometimes a big time investment, but people don't approach their reading in a structured manner, e.g. by keeping notes, making flashcards, doing exercises, writing reviews or making summaries. I have been taking notes on the books I read since mid 2017, but have neglected writing reviews or summaries that might be useful to others. This is my attempt at salvaging that oversight.
