I don’t keep notes or do any write ups when I read, I read mostly for enjoyment instead of watching of tv. The most I’ll do is write a quick review in a few popular book spaces as a courtesy to authors for providing me entertainment. I do use StoryGraph to track what I am reading, so I can plug it into a Book Riot spreadsheet at the end of the year that has charts to breakdown what I’ve read. I remember and recommend books mostly based on vibe and not necessarily content.
I don't reread books very often because there is so much out there that I want to read and I’m a pretty slow reader, so my rereads are always via audiobook, I’ve only reread 2 series and a few of other books. I also don’t typically do first time reads on audiobook because my mind wanders a lot while listening and I get lost.
I also don’t mind reading as just another consumption because I get a lot of entertainment for very little money.
