I love every character in this manga and it makes me feel really nostalgic of my high school days, which I think is lovely. After finishing the manga I started the anime, I'm in the fourth episode so far and I love the opening song and the art/animation.
I recommend this one if you're the romantic type :). -

By the way, how did you manage to read it a few times? It took me like two months to read each one of the first two books. Guess I'm a very slow reader lol -

Having just reached the second chapter I can't say much, but I am certain that this will be as great as the other two books in the trilogy. KSR is an amazing sci-fi writer, he can draw your attention to the most uniteresting of things in an engaging and detailed fashion. This trilogy is my favorite thing in the world right now, I highly recommend it.

I want to use some of the free time I'll be having during this quarantine to play some games and was thinking maybe I should play some classics, what do you think?

Can't say I'm used to such heavy philosophical works but I'm liking it a lot so far. Had to read a couple of chapters two or three times but it was worth it.

This was my second book by the author and I loved it as much as Sleepwalking Land (Terra Sonâmbula) which I read a couple years ago and plan on re-reading this year.
I still have to decide what I'm reading next but I'm thinking of re-reading The Stranger. -
Comment on How do you people at universities handle your notes? in ~talk
chungkng Link ParentThat is so cool! Must have been nice having access to all those different notes and perspectives, what a great idea. Also, I loved the idea of re-organizing your notes on the computer afterwards....for one or two courses a couple of students ended up agreeing to create a collaborative document with notes, and I found rewriting my notes on the computer was a good way of revising and re-organizing them.
That is so cool! Must have been nice having access to all those different notes and perspectives, what a great idea. Also, I loved the idea of re-organizing your notes on the computer afterwards. Seems like a good way to keep things in place and not have to worry about finding early notes later on during the course. I think I'll experiment with this system of rewriting stuff after classes. If writing them is good for memorization I bet typing them later won't do harm :).

During all my school years I did the same as you, took notes just to help retain the information but I don't know if that was as effective as I thought it was back then, so that's why I am looking for new ways, because I am certain I won't be able to get by just writing stuff and then never looking at it again.

Specially those of you who attend courses on the field of humanities, in which I feel the amount of note-taking is even greater than most fields, given all the reading and talking that occurs during classes and out of them. How do you do it? Do you write on paper perhaps, or do you find that digital notes suit you better?
I'm asking this because I am about to start my studies (finally) and am curious about how other people handle this task which, honestly, has been a nuisance through all my life. I'm not the best at organizing my notes and I believe it harms my studying overall.16 votes
Would love to see a discussion on Camus! A few months ago I read The Stranger for the second time and it really had a different effect from the first. So I proceeded to read The Myth of Sisyphus and then The Plague. I thought by then that I'd have a pretty solid basis for reading The Rebel but it seems to be both harder and to require more prior knowledge than the other three, so I've been stuck in it for the past three months lol.
