Finally finished the third volume of Capital. Not going to lie, it was a challenge and quite a journey, but well worth it. Rip to the many, many highlighters that gave their lives for this endeavor.

I get why people do it, especially for dense texts like these, but to me it’d be like hard-coding a commentary track from someone who hasn’t seen the full movie.

I think that’s part of the fun. You go back and read and see what you missed or realize you still don’t understand a concept or learn that you now understand and want to dig deeper. If now you understand and find the commentary unhelpful you erase.

I don't generally highlight when I'm reading for my own edification, but I can't read something dense like this without doing so. It just helps me slow down and think about what is actually important in what I'm reading

My Volume I is littered with post-it notes that stop abruptly after Chapter 10. side-eye-1

That's where you entered THE ZONE presumably comfy-cool

Oh yeah. Smooth sailing from there until the end. That's the ticket!
