Do you summarize the books you read, so you can use and share everything you learned at any time?

I summarize every chapter and add my own thoughts.
It takes much longer to read, but I always got access to the lessons I learned.
And... should I continue doing this, or should I read more in the time I usually spend summarizing?

A good friend of mine reads nearly one book a day, but I'm not sure if he remembers most of the important things.


Cheers
