In follow-up to a recent blog post shared to me by my friend Steven, thinking about my aunt’s old practices, and comments from my wife and another friend, I’m engaging in a “consumptive”/”reactive” reading experiment wherein I am going to do something I haven’t done in a non-workbook book since my time at HVCC – I’m going to try writing in a book.
Two, actually. One is {{To Engineer Is Human}} (by {{Henry Petroski}}; my review). The second is {{Knowing God}} by {{JI Packer}}.
Wish me luck. I’ll report back when I’ve completed at least one of the books in the experiment.
“Books are made to be broken–literally or figuratively. I recently bought a 80+ year old book for $76 (a rare book called If It Had Happened Otherwise). I took special pleasure folding the pages and writing on them. It’s mine, why treat it like a delicate flower?” –Ryan Holiday
