I want to persuade you to be very active when you are reading a good book. If you mark the important ideas in a book, you will get much more from your reading.

If you agree with me about the usefulness of marking books, you will have to buy them. Many of the world's great books are available in reprint editions at less than fifteen dollars. But you shouldn't mark a book which isn't yours. People who lend books to you expect you to keep them in good condition.

Passing time with an ordinary piece of light fiction like "The Bridges of Madison County" doesn't require such active reading. Such books can be read in a state of relaxation. But a great book which is full of ideas which raise fundamental questions demands the active involvement of your mind. If you are patient and you focus your attention, you will find that you are capable of understandind and remembering many wonderful ideas.
