I read books borrowed from the library and then I take notes from the books. After reading and I realize that I have actually gained a lot from the book, I buy it. The added advantage here is that if it's a really good book, then the second (or third) read-around will expose new concepts. I pretty much do what Kirk does.

But if it's a book you would return to again and again, finding something new each time, just taking notes isn't good enough. I know very, very few books that are that awesome, though. I also start at the library to help me eliminate the duds. Another way to learn from books is to take notes on them.

Books are a bargain compared to so much else we can buy, if costed at an hourly rate - let alone that business books and similar can deliver a return on investment in them. On the other hand, despite giving away books to friends I still lug van fulls from house to house like so much dead wood. I guess an eBook reader would be the perfect solution (and would enable me to refer back and re-read) but then I love the smell of paper. We humans were not meant to be 100% content, eh?! I’m torn.

It illustrates the point that My Journey makes in his comment- one size does not fit all. b. We all learn from each other. Both your approaches are great ideas for the right person. I love it. Thanks. Beth/Kirk,

I love your comments for two reasons:
a. It illustrates the point that My Journey makes in his comment- one size does not fit all.

b. We all learn from each other.

Both your approaches are great ideas for the right person.

I love it. Thanks.

I read a book in the library first. If I get done, and it is a book I must have to reflect, highlight, etc. then I buy it. I have bought books in the past expecting to learn quite a bit and found them to be very basic or poorly written. And, these were highly recommended books. So, I would go to the library first. That way, I can avoid paying for the dud books. Neal,
