From as early as the twelfth century and into the eighteenth century, it was a normal practice while reading to keep a small book handy in which to write commonplaces-sentences grave and serious, or striking, notable, or poignant passages-that one might find while reading. As opposed to a journal or a diary, a commonplace book is a collection of wisdom discovered in the world, particularly virtuous thoughts to share and live by. One is expected to engage with the ideas recorded and to intersperse one's own thoughts and questions and arguments.This commonplace book is to record lines from your Shakespeare readings that you find personally insightful, delightful, wise, or witty, thoughts to ponder on, to memorize, to share. Consider also recording your own memories of these lines and the plays, such as when you read them and what they meant to you at that moment. Thus you transform this commonplace book into a unique treasure and valuable part of your heritage.
