LyX for writing notes about a book

I take notes while reading books and am looking for a way to improve my messy organization of them. Does anyone use LyX to write up notes about books they are reading? Do you have any suggestions as far as how to organize them? How do you separate quotes (e.g. quote environment?) from paraphrases

Odd bibliography/citation formatting, ERT formatting
