I started a Tumblr. I’m going to attempt to keep a collection of my favorite book quotes in one central location.
Hopefully, this will work better than my other time-tested methods: keeping pieces of paper in the book to mark the page; trying to recall which side of the page/which half of the book a section is in; attempting to dedicate the page number to memory, which only works about 2% of the time (I miraculously still remember the page of one of my fave passages in Anna Karenina, even though I finished the book last month).
Yes, my organization methods really are that questionable at times.
As you can see, I have my work cut out for me. I only have a few passages up right now–including the passage my Tumblr title came from–but I’m working on it.
