I see from your website that you have been commonplacing for a while now and must have a wonderful collection of quotes and passages. <br /><br />I am sure it is probably easier to capture passages in a digital commonplace book since so many quotes and books are available online. A simple cut and paste and you are there! <br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your thoughts on this topic. Thanks again for stopping by.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-61009604578827464142013-01-21T13:08:57.929-05:002013-01-21T13:08:57.929-05:00I've been keeping a commonplace book for years...I've been keeping a commonplace book for years. It's a digital (electronic) commonplace book of quotations from the books and essays I've read each year for a certain several. I write a blog where I discuss some of them as part of a larger review and have published a few books on the topic. Write to me if you are interested in knowing more.<br /><br />Richard Katzev rkatzev@teleport.com<br /><br />www.marksinthemargin.com<br />www.the-essayist.com<br />Richard Katzevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466537940588392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-86580629751560698682013-01-20T11:00:24.981-05:002013-01-20T11:00:24.981-05:00Oh, Kat, one can never have too many journals and ...Oh, Kat, one can never have too many journals and notebooks.

I thoroughly enjoyed this post.<br /><br />I keep a commonplace book and have for a long time. I fill it with mostly quotes that I cut out and paste, or, preferably, that I apply with my own hand. I actually wrote a post on commonplace books earlier in my musings (I dislike the word blog as well). You have inspired me to repost it and have given me an opportunity to link back to your post.
