Reply to comment by GrudaAplam in I just realized talking to Chatgpt about books I finished helps me process and think about them by QueenMackeral

Writing a review doesn't give you new perspectives

Why doesn't it? Anyway, see the title of the post. It helps me process and think about them.

I'm curious what do you do when the meaning or something about the book eludes you? do you do research into the book online?

There were moments when the ai told me something that I would have never thought of, and if I had written a review with my limited knowledge it would have been missing that key information.

I think about it, mull it over. Writing it down helps me formulate and clarify my thoughts.

I don't read reviews or articles until after I've written mine. If I have missed something well that's too bad. I don't really expect anyone to read my reviews, anyway. They disappear in amongst the hundreds or thousands of other reviews.

To be fair, that's the way my brain works anyway. I have a Humanities degree and I am accustomed to thinking by writing.
