hilighting vs underlining vs whatever Options

[batman]

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 usually highlight things, in almost every book I read. I think highlighting is much easier to pick out when flipping through than underlining. But I almost always write notes in margins, too, to explain why I found something interesting enough to highlight, or just to make other notes about what I'm reading (such as if I like the writer's style, etc.).
