Annotating is a wonderful skill to have and does not take too much time. As you are reading, you are already reacting to the text in your mind. Annotating is a quick step that simply transfers those thoughts on or near the margins of the text. And, if you need to discuss or write about the text, you already have notes on the main ideas, arguments, etc. if you annotated.
