what do you do to take notes as you read?
i usually always underline, but last night i decided to get hi-lighters and hi-lighted up my bio print-outs and now i'm going back to review all the massive amounts of info i was supposed to absorb and all i can think about is "oooh, colors pretty" and i'm completely missing the words  anyways, i think i'm gonna go back to underlines and margin notes. |

I dislike underlining because in the end it looks like you underlined everything and that everything holds the same sort of importance. You can't differentiate between anything or find it later. Highlighters come in when you want to create a logical order and direct attention to certain areas.
Plus, if I don't make a perfectly straight line while highlighting, I won't be too annoyed. Usually when I read I like to take separate notes on the side though. And that's where the underlining (mostly of titles) and hardcore highlighting really come out. |
