I agree. It definitely helps to keep notes as you go when reading a book that is for later discussion. I sometimes keep a few notes on non-Club books also, as this can help in writing a short review for GR.
That in turn is useful for me in the longer term in recalling a particular book and what my reaction to it was, as well as why I felt that way. Otherwise it's very easy after a time to know that I enjoyed a book, but to have little or no recollection of it. Maybe that's antiquity of course!
