Dear Reader,

At uni I asked my writing tutor: How do you choose what to extract from a text? How do you narrow down your reading to a thesis statement? Well that’s a big question, I thought, once I said it out loud.

But he had an answer, and it was simple: Read with a pen. Even if you don’t take notes, hold a pen to engage your brain, to take on an active role.

It works for me; in fact, I still do this.

Until the next chapter,
