Do you write up your books once you've finished reading? (lemmy.world)

So I have 'just started reading'. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I've realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I'm really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I've kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they've read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?

Have you tried mixing audiobooks with their ebook/paper variant? My neurospicy brain can only process a book if do both at the same time :)

    I read much faster than I hear, but I'm ALWAYS doing something else when I'm listening to audio, which slows down my brain's ability to process words, even if it's something mindless like cleaning. So it works out.

    And as others have said, I generally will increase speed, usually up to 1.3x or so is my sweet spot.
