Welcome Scholar

Get cozy, stay a while. This is a place of learning. My notes and inspiration flow from this well. Voices from across the world ring from these halls. In these books you will find the thread that traces my curiosity, in some way you will see a mirror of myself.

Highlight Key


Before you go deeper, please refer to this key. It will unlock the intention behind my highlights, and perhaps you too will take interest in the collections I have formed.


Gray = Quotes

Blue = Concept

Green = Insight

Yellow = Question / Disagreement

First Read - Inspectional Reading (15 minutes)

  • What are the main ideas?
  • What is the author trying to accomplish?
  • What is the structure of the chapters?
  • What is the context?

Second Read - Analytical Reading

  • Read the book slowly and deeply
  • Apply the color coded highlight system
  • When the context is understood through inspectional reading the impulse to highlight everything lessens
  • Export the highlights and try to expand upon the blue and green highlights
