Interesting idea to read many book in a batch (reading vacation) rather than read book over the long period of time.

Introduced the "commonplace book" used by every self-respecting 18-19th century Englishmen. It seems that this tradition was passed to me by my russian supervisor, who, however, picked it up from some english condensed matter professor.
