I've been reading books from libraries for many years now, so I guess I have to buy books from now on.

I don't write in my books, usually. I just keep note books dedicated to a particular group of books. Marginalia can be useful sometimes, but I have found that when I mark books up, it forces me to miss things that I didn't pick out as important, whereas if I had read the book without marginalia I would have noticed different things. I don't wish to see the same book the same way every time I read it.

Unfortunately there is no silver bullet to cure this common desire. Making the notes as I suggest in this video is merely one of many available methods to increase retention. Be creative and seek alternatives that work for you and your style. One other method I use when available is to purchase the book and the audio book. Having it in two formats and media is also useful and aids learning.

Hello Jim,
What's the name of the book you're holding (at 4mins 10 seconds of the video)
This does not seems to be the book "How to read a book" from Adler

You are right; it is not the Adler book. To illustrate this technique I chose What Went Wrong? Western Impact and Middle Eastern Response by Bernard Lewis. It was close at hand and was a good example.
