I began keeping a commonplace book 2+ years ago and have really enjoyed both the physical process of inscribing those snippets in a journal made by a bookbinder I know and the occasional look-back to review a topic or even the whole volume (just one so far). I’m using John Locke’s method of indexing, detailed here: https://fs.blog/john-locke-common-place-book/. What I keep forgetting to do is to review and add quotes I’ve saved in Goodreads from my Kindle reading.
I've also got a journal, but it's very easy to post quotes online. There are some authors I love so much, I think the whole of Alice in Wonderland is marvellous. And some authors like Swift and Johnson are much neglected these days too.

Ivan Ilych seems to have been a very astute observer of processes. We can learn a lot from him.
