not even underlining passages or w/e. Last week I took a 1969 pulpy Sartre paperback to a public lecture and I used that shit like a notebook. It’s free paper. Also very beautiful to lend out books to friends and see what they write in them. kill the bookshagger in your head

My friend/sister Rapha inherited some of my precious books when I moved to Portugal, and reminded me last week of my scribbles as she picked up Alexandra Coelho to read. It's nice for friends because they get a glimpse of what moved you, a little snippet of your soul. It's nice for yourself as book owner because using a pen or highlighter is psychopath behaviour

I personally hate annotating or marking my books at all, even in high school when I was forced to highlight books in english class it felt sacrilegious. It was printed with the exact correct number of words, I do not need to add to it.
But, i do love when i get a copy of something and someone has underlined their favorite passages or scribbled some notes in the margins. Feels like taking a peek into someone’s diary.

Love Underlining, leaving note, etc. But what I love even more is reading a book where somebody has already left their traces
