I have recently started writing book reviews for a website, related to my profession. It has been a great experience so far. Knowing that I am writing a review that is going to be published certainly makes me take my reading a lot more seriously. Now I take notes, write down quotes, and after I have read a chapter I write a short summary of if to clarify my thoughts on what I have just read. I feel like the whole thing is making me a much more perceptive and thoughtful reader, which I am sure will start to carry over into everything I read from now on.
