The Importance of Memorization

The concept behind a common place book is that as you run across bits of information that you think are highly valuable you write them in this book or you collect them into this book and it becomes your book of growing knowledge. To me I think there's a lot of value in being able to recall two or three sentences or a paragraph that I've read in a book somewhere that I want to be able to use in conversation or use in my own writing. So I would like to implement this because I feel like I want to step into more of this memorization piece.
