Do you annotate your books?

[SolemnlyDoc]

For those who purchase physical copies, do you annotate them?

I highlight, underline, and write in the margins of my books. It's part of how I read and re-read them, usually I only mark them on my second run through.

What about you?

Man, I do that to mine... can't control myself. But I find it awful tbh, especially if you intend to circulate your stuff.

I cry to myself if my books get water damaged or folded, so no

I highlight, underline, and write in the margins of my books.

Aw, man. Can I get this thread taken down for gore? T-Those poor books...

Jokes aside, I'd just use different coloured bookmarks. Even something as rudimentary as a torn off piece of paper (from loose-leaf not the book itself!) with some writing on it. And out of desperation, maybe some sticky notes, just as long as I take them off gently when I'm done.

yes i do, sometimes i cant control my thoughts and i must write it down

I generally keep a notebook beside me, or failing that I tap something into my notes app

No. I'm weird about "ruining" books.
But years ago I did pick up a copy of Huckleberry Finn that has a bunch of Nirvana logos and other doodles in it.

I try not to, but many have been "clawed" that way.

No, i don't want to ruin them
