Does anyone else keep a Reader's Notebook? I copy into mine fluent, lyrical, or imaginative lines worth noting (credited, of course). It slows down the reading to tab the lines, but provides model lines & phrases to look back on.

Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too. Imagine all the people Livin' life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one. John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80
