> Yeah.
> I like to have a look round the second hand book shops. I found a copy of a book that I really liked and it had been previously owned by a proff I really liked and he had made notes all through it. I really appreciated his having done that :-)Yes, I like to read what other people have found remarkable, too. Especially if they haven't done it too much, so finding their remarks is like a little treasure, whether I think I understand what they were saying or not.
> I do write in books...
> I try to do it in pencil.
> 2b or b pencil, though.
> Nice and dark and is erased without a trace...I try to use pencil too, but if one's not available, I have been known to grab a pen (if it is MY book, of course). Though you have to be careful with pens that bleed through... I always kick myself for that.
> I have been known to turn the corner of the page on library books though...
Yes. My husband thinks I'm commiting a crime when I do that. I mean I don't go crazy or anything, but if I don't have a scrap of paper handy, well...
