It’s indicative to who I was 4 years ago. For instance, the quotations I’m about to share that were jotted down in 2006 are a little more cynical than I am now. The quotations you pull at a certain time of your life correlate to whatever your circumstances and point of view may be at that time. Keeping notes or jotting down quotations from your books also serves as a window to who you are.You’ll have your own version of cliff notes for the book or a collection of great quotations you enjoyed at your finger tips for perusal years later!.

If you’re anything like me, my memory fails me when it comes to movies and books if I don’t rewatch or reread two or three times, and even then, if a significant amount of years have passed, I’m completely useless in a conversation about the book or movie. I know I’m a little fanatical about themed journals but if you’re a reader, I think keeping a reading journal has some perks. Since I am home without any pressing task or appointment (the laundry can wait!) I recorded a short video of the Fear of Flying pages in my journal. So much so that I wrote 14 pages of quotes in my reading journal from the book. I’m a little fuzzy on the details but I do remember really loving it. I read Fear of Flying (published in 1973) in 2006 and never typed up a book review for it.

I was going to do a small review of Erica Jong’s How to Save Your Own Life, a book I finished a couple of weekends ago but thought it weird to discuss a sequel without mention of the previous book, Fear of Flying.
