Ha, I do not like reading through someone else's notes!
However, yes, I had never thought about it this way until today... I do think my recall is stronger with a physical book. Something about the way my brain recreates the text on that particular part of the page with that underline, or crease, or blemish on the page. Hmmm... interesting. I'm going to have to keep this in mind. (Except, wait, does that mean we need to go back to physical newsletters??!)
Love this and agree with the sentiment as someone has zero memory recall. Had a similar experience recently, pulled St Augustine’s Confessions off my shelf after someone mentioned Neoplatonism in conversation and I couldn’t remember if I had actually read through it cover to cover during school only to find it full of sticky tabs. Flipping through it was cool seeing what resonated with me back then/what still does now.

Hahaha! 🤷🏻♀️ I like this app... stainable digital canvases?

Lolol right! Like what if you kept that thing pristine.
Much kindred in reading here, as always. Thanks, Marbs.
