Readers revive the pencil-and-paper reading journal
Original: The slowest way to read is with a pencil in hand, and it is the only way that leaves a record. A kept passage and a line
Book lovers are championing the humble reading journal: the practice of marking passages with a pencil and copying kept quotes into a notebook. Fans argue it is the slowest way to read, but the only one that leaves a record of what a passage meant to you at the time, echoing the old commonplace book tradition.
Why now: Readers are pushing back against fast, digital consumption by sharing slow, note-taking reading habits.

Evidence
- The slowest way to read is with a pencil in hand, and it is the only way that leaves a record. A kept passage and a line beside it. A reading journal is what the pencil leaves behind. # journaling # commonplacebook # readingjournal # bookstodon · ethanOS@infosec.exchange · 2
