Behead all annotators
But my name isn't Ishmael? I don't understand. This book is confusing.
>Some years agoThe past.
>little or no moneyHis status
>>25307643>Well endowedHis shlong
>>25307700behead all women
>>25307705What the fuck.
>>25307643>chapter 1This is where the book starts
>>25307643>LoomingsThe title of the chapter
>>25307705Holy shit. Some people treat all books like coloring books.Why circle every instance of 'he' in the last two sentences tho?
>>25307798Might be one of those freaks who think The Metamorphosis is a trans allegory.
>>25307705>"why is he thinking about his job"God this bitch is stupid.
>>25307643the extended mind theory
>>25307643I annotate 4chan now
>>25307827Based.Can someone post the /lit/ annotated version of Moby Dick with all the gay shit?
>>25307643But the 4chan annotated moby dick is kino>Ishmael[1]>
>>25307643Imagine butchering a book like this. People are crazy.
One of my college textbooks has Indonesian annotations in it.
>>25307705When they say make a big deal of how much women "read", this is what they mean. Basically treating it like a colouring book with the occasional inane annotation thrown in. All so they can score attention points and pretend to be intellectual on TikTok or whatever.
>>25307643Seriously, why the fuck some people do this? The MOST i do is sign my name on my books, i can't imagine using the pages like some sort of diary. Is it a woman thing? At least i never seen a man doing it
His name isn't Ishmael, he is a fictionalized Hermann Melville. He says to call him Ishmael because Ishmael is outside the tribe
>>25307800You've introduced me to a new concept, and it's cursed.
>>25307854Seems like more work than regular reading. If anything this makes it a bigger deal.
>>25307857>Is it a woman thing? Yes. Women tend to like expressing themselves more outwardly. They decorate, ornament, aestheticize, personalize. For them, an empty margin must be the book equivalent of this.
>>25307877Amazing how women just don't understand that a more simplistic lifestyle allows us to think more clearly. It's no wonder they're so emotional all the time

>>25307898They're just a fundamentally different species. It's endearing when applied to the right thing and enriches your life in ways you would otherwise never care enough to. It's less endearing when you're purchasing a second hand book filled to the brim with the trite observations of a stranger.
>>25307857I highlight because I have a bad memory, and it's my book.
>>25307904Just buy a scrapbook and crayons you dumb bitch.
>>25307966Just use a bookmark, retard
>>25307871It's not reading. If you're not able to assimilate the text's contents to your mind without stopping every 5 seconds to doodle and play with your assortment of colour pens then you're not mentally immersed in the act of reading.
>>25307985100% TRVKE
>>25307980How is a bookmark supposed to help me identity passages I liked or wanted to review? How many bookmarks am I supposed to use?
>>25307980I do that sometimes when I borrow books. It's inconvenient as shit.
>>25308006You can't just scan the page and recognize whatever it was made you bookmark it?All my finished non-slop books have tons of little bookmarks (I tear up pieces of old magazines or similar) and I can always find whatever made me bookmark the page. If it sparks some other thought I always write it down elsewhere, it's rarely confined solely to the domain of whatever I'm reading anyway.
>>25308006Write it down in a notebook you retard
>>25308013>You can't just scan the page and recognize whatever it was made you bookmark it?I can, but I can also use a pen because it's my own book and you can't tell me what to do.
>>25308018Too bad: Stop fucking up your books or I'm going to give you a spanking.
>>25308018So bold. So brave. So independent.Get over yourself, dild. Nobody really gives a fuck.
>>25308016Seems like an unnecessary extra step.
>>25308018Wow, so stunning and brave! Slayyyyyyyy queenFuck off.
>>25308037Staining a good book with useless highlights seems even more unnecessary, but whatever floats your boat
>>25308037You're a retard and a faggot, writhe in the dirt you foul piece of shit bug.
>>25308027>>25308038Cope. You got destroyed by facts and logic. Using a pen is easier and more versatile in nearly every way.
>>25308054>Cope. You got destroyed by facts and logicTypical shapirofag kek
>>25307705>like harem women*simile*lmao>once I've gotten the money together to pay off my parents' debt to him(has to pay off parents debt)>>25307798I assume that relates to "writes in third person". She missed a few instances of "he", which is funny to me.
>>25308054>Didn't respond to my post It seems the spectre of spanking is still effective.
>>25307827kek
>>25308070It was an emotional non-argument. What's there to respond to?
>>25307898they're emotional because of estrogen dominance. if you were estrogen dominant you'd be as emotional as they are. It's pretty straightforward.
Annotating fiction is female brained retardation. But annotating nonfiction is what you're supposed to do.
>>25308098So were the others but you were afraid of mine. >>25308105Using a separate notebook is still superior in that case.
>>25308109I didn't know what yours was because I wasn't involved in that comment chain in the first place, but now I see it. I don't even annotate often, but when I do it allows me to quickly highlight sentences/words I like or that remind me of something. One time I wanted to do a detailed comparison between a book and a movie adaptation. Using a notebook only makes these things harder.
>>25307643
>>25308134This is for you btw >>25308138
>>25308148I grabbed a notebook and wrote that you're an enormous cum-guzzling faggot.
>>25308173Prove it.
>>25308218I wanted to but couldn't find a pen so I made it up.
>>25308238
>>25307705>moids will talk shit but then pic related is what they spent 10% of GDP producing when they were still in control.It's literally the same thing (except moids could actually manage good handwriting back then).
>>25308282You will never be a women.
>>25308292You will never be *inside* a woman
>>25308282I don't know whether I hate most your egocentrism or the timid ineffectual way you wrote this.
>>25308282>pic related is what they spent 10% of GDP producing when they were still in control.You say this as if it some kind of "own." Like wow can you believe what these morons wasted their time doing? And your picrel isA laboriously crafted manuscript with beautiful calligraphy and illustrations with neat annotations made by scribes with an actual understanding of the material which they are annotating. Also all part of a tradition which kept alive countless works from the Ancient world onwards which we would not have today if it were not for monks copying them when the previous copies started to degrade? Every time you read a classical work you should be saying "thank you monks, thank you scribes." >10% of GDP Would that it had been 30% and we could have more lost texts today.
>>25308348Don't engage with woman shit, they don't care about truth.
>>25308054>penOh no no, you fell for the ink is permanent advertising. Lead (pencil) is more permanent than ink.
>recommend the 4chan annotated edition >get dozens of likes and bookmarks in a matter of minutes I don't know if people understood the joke, or if they intend to buy that edition.
>>25308377NTA, but recently I purchased a really nice Oxford printed hardback of the complete works of John Milton from the 1950s. It was in beautiful condition other than pencil annotations on almost every page, as a result it was a mere £3.50. I took it home, took a rubber to it (eraser for the yanks) and within an hour and 30 minutes it was annotation free and looked brand new. Score! Pencil annotations FTW (I don't annotate in my books at all, I record my notes and thoughts in a notebook).
>>25308348The great medieval cathedral had outlays equal to over twice Cold War defense spending/GDP for projects that lasted 80-250 years. Pretty incredible.
>>25308336Cope, been with my girl for years.
>>25308425>>25308348>>25308349>Moids literally gloating over not giving people healthcare or housing so that they can copy a bunch of Greek child diddlers saying "women bad."Classic.
>>25308441You are an insult to the tradition, stop posting.
>25308441
>>25308282>second column, 26th line>>redditmaybe you should stay there
>>25308282>>25308458Kek
>>25308425Imagine having to carve all those statues. Must have been hell.
>>25308441Bait used to be believable.
>>25307643got a book off amazon jp that was completely raped by red pen, which btw was listed as being in good condition. practically had a conniption, scared the poor japanese vendor. got my refund tho hehe
>>25308377It's graphite nincompoop
>>25307904>le all lowercase
>marginalia in printed matterseemfeels sacrilegious when we have digital portable document formats. just re-read the books you love if you want to remember more of them. if you need to respond to things inline then just ---acquire--- a pdf of it
>>25308336he gestated inside his mother, but of course, you wouldn't know what that is as gestation is outside of your abilities.
>>25307877the recliner is a waste of money
>>25308138kek
>>25307705>This is what creative writing in college does to a mf
found a copy of sylvia plath's letters home and in the margins a woman wrote a diary entry for like 6 pages about how she likes older men or something
>>25307643I don't get the point of it
-wtf why won’t Ishmael call him???
>>25309460This would be so hot if she wasn't wearing socks
Annotations are for study, when you need to tie what is written there to what you know from elsewhere but isn't written there and when you might need memory aids and directions for quick referencing, and for criticism, when you are going back to a read book to add your own thoughts and reasonings (actually) to individual segments of it. If you do it without a good purpose you're just interrupting yourself and cluttering the page, ironically making things more difficult and unclear for yourself.
the thing is ishmael probs isn't really his name, he just says to call him that not that it's his name lmao annotator too mid
>>25309892In mother Russia the annotator beheads you.
>>25309902
>>25309460kek
>>25307877if you're talking about the gay highlighting specifically I agree, but many famous male authors annotated the fuck out of their books
>>25308336he and the rest of us have all already been inside your mom
>>25308441this bait is so obvious and also retarded that the only worthwhile reply is pic related
>>25307643i annotated once
I read time travelers wife and annotated it with my reactions and gave it to a friend as a birthday present she liked itShe's annotating infinite jest for me
/lit/ is full of contrarians, they hate whatever they see women doing
>>25309902In chapter 16, Peleg says "your name was Ishmael right?" or something along those lines. Ishmael, himself, never tells Peleg his name with dialogue. And he never tells the audience that he tells Peleg this with descriptive text. We can just assume that Ishmael told him his name and didn't bother mentioning it. But with how descriptive and paranoid he is, that doesn't seem to follow. Maybe Peleg is the one who "came up" with the name and Ishmael just like it?
>>25310423gay
>>25308348>made by scribes with an actual understanding of the material which they are annotating.this is obviously why i annotate my books. i do them well, and then i reread the book again, and then i do more, even better annotations ad infinitum until all of the text in the book has been covered
>>25309286TV stand is a waste of money.
>>25307705>never been sick in 5 yearsFoids can't comprehend this
>>25310508Indeed, because women are not smart (I hesitate to say stupid) and relate to the world in a superficial way. I don’t say this to hate on women, they are necessary, but let’s not pretend they are intellectual equals of men
i treasure this cute comment in my secondhand leaves of grass
>>25307643thats probably the funniest image ive seen on /lit/ in months kek
>>25307705I genuinely think that if you showed Kafka this, he would burn his manuscript.
