Fiction I write very few notes in the margins, I might underline things occasionally or make footnotes but nothing too noticeable.

Non-fiction, especially philosophy, filled with underlines, asterisks, starts, boxes around paragraphs, footnotes and side margin notes.

I also write my full name, address, and phone number on the inside cover of every book.

I only ever mark the page when the author says something i think is stupid. I will often underline the part and write "that's dumb" or some other derogatory remark. I may also, if i run into a claim that i find particularly laughable, write "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" after it, the length of which varies with just how laughable i find the passage. The longest filled the entire margin of the page. Sometimes, if i'm feeling passive-aggressive i will simply write "?" after a claim, and it filled me with great joy to find out that Gramsci did the exact same thing in his prison notebooks.

No because I read to enjoy. Taking notes makes me feel like I'm in school again. The only subject I was fond of in school was math.

I underline passages that I like, which are usually numerous.
If I'm particularly aroused by one, next to it I might write down an interjection like "Ah!" or "Take that!".

Yes because then when people ask to borrow my books they are able to see that I only underline sections that have references to gay sex.
