I love Virginia Woolf’s remark that keeping a commonplace book is reading with a pen, which facilitates ‘following the scent.’ I use the Notes function on my phone and iPad to scribble down things that catch my eye while reading. Not nearly so elegant or so useful in later years.
Thank you for the great and succinct justification for all the bookcases in my house. It should go into a commonplace book.

I use OneNote for jotting down things too. Very handy.
