Dissecting Books

Well, I tried pasting my form in here that I made for writing about books I read, but it seemed too long to leave open on the front of my blog until archived. So I am going to just paste here the words on my document. I made the original paper one night awhile ago and still need to make some changes, like changing the order of some parts and leaving room for a thesis statement summary and general overview of a work. As it is, it follows a log of books I've read, then has about 10 pages w/ small lines for addressing the following:


-Reason for reading:
-Which parts worth rereading and why:
-Some questions, concerns, research ideas prompted by or otherwise connected with work:
-___ was unconvincing/erroneous because:
-From reading this I discovered I am (are) wrong about ___ because:
-This work would be more effective in manner/aspect if:
-Idea of background information that (I think/know/suspect) would supplement the text, make it more effective:
-Works this work caused me to want to read/know:
-Notes of interest:
-Quotes:
-What audiences would this be good for?
-What Scripture references are used (not intended to be all-inclusive) for arguments I should know or be familiar with; how they are used; perceived faults/strengths of argument or chapter/verse/book/theme selections:
-Current Booklist [books I intend to read]:
Per John M. Frame’s advice [section where I examine book as Frame suggests in appendices to The Doctrine of the Knowledge of God]:


Sometime I need to sit down and think more over what to include. But for now, this is the form.
