People who write on their books and litter them with sticky notes are disgusting weirdos.
>>24785237I agree, I've always hated doing that since I was in school but the teacher made us do it and then checked the notes, I guess to make sure we were actually reading it.
This is misogyny. But you are right, sadly.
It makes sense if it's a nonfiction book that you often use as a reference, but otherwise I agree
Can you imagine buying a second hand paperback of a classic with hundreds of paper pages that probably required some decent time and money to produce, and inside it's just covered in retarded adolescent ramblings? >"Dostoevsky touches my soul like no other...">"This passage raped me, I'm such a deep feeler.">*Highlights every single sentence of a two-page monologue*>*Sketch of a sad girl smoking in the margins*

>>24785260I'm talking about novels mostly. It's a trend now online for young people to write their super brave and insightful comments on a book literally in the book itself.
>>24785237Why are women like this
>>24785263I do this
>>24785237>read a book>what I'm reading provokes an interesting thoughtWhy should I not write it down?>read an insightful passage that I may want to return toWhy should I not put a note on the page so that I can easily find it again?
Countless great authors and philosophers wrote in their books. Even Aristotle wrote on his copy of The Iliad, which he gave to Alexander the Great.
>>24785620ThisThe people who don't take notes or write marginalia at all are almost certainly shallow readersOf course, I have also seen what one might consider the obverse failing; copious 'notes' and highlighting and scribblings that say nothing at allI suppose there might be some deep readers who strictly keep their notes in separate notebooks, but I don't know of any
If you aspire to write fiction I think it makes sense to do this with novels.
>>24785812Why would you write notes in the book itself? Just use a journal or a writing app like a normal person.Can you imagine how retarded that would be practically? Everytime you want to see comments and thoughts you had about a book, you have to physically go find the book and find the page number with your ballpoint pen comment instead of just looking at your phone.

>>24785867I love the walls in my house, I'm gonna start writing all over them.
>>24785867>The best thing you can do with something you love is use ityou use a book by reading it, not turning it into an arts-and-crafts project. what the women who do this shit actually "love" are post-it notes and highlighters.
