Annotated by whom? Just a random person?

Perhaps looking for editions with foot/endnotes would be wiser than looking for exemplars filled with cryptic scribbles by some rando.

I used to have a copy of pic rel. The first two chapters were absurdly annotated to the point of the pages being black. The rest of the book was untouched. I gave it to a political science major when I started my nazi phase

Most marginalia should rather be called margin-anal because it's shit!

do you like to watch your wife getting fucked too?

>I started my nazi phase
Is it merely a phase? Asking for a friend.

>>18149013
Depends on the person. For me it was a means to end that I didnt even know I was venturing towards. It served as a way of destroying all the values programmed into me so I could eventually reach clarity of thought untouched by social conditioning.

>>18148866
This shit is so triggering. Like just fucking remember in your head when you have thoughts about the words. At most make some notes separately.

They literally always do that. I have never found a book that was annotated all the way through. I believe that it could be that people who annotate their books are simply brainlets and pseuds.

Calm down, american. You should talk with your shrink about your obsession with cucking, it has clearly destroyed your brain.

What the fuck

>>18149039
She's very handsome and essentially invented the concept of British Fascism. I love her, please don't be mean.

I am currently reading (((Howard Zinn)))'s [who is Jewish, I should add] People's History and it is the same way. First two or three chapters were exhaustively annotated and then nothing. I have a copy of Walden like this as well.

I have a highly annotated copy of The Riverside Shakespeare, which is a complete-works textbook edition for undergrads with a lot of period engravings and extensive introductions to each play and poem.

Swiped it out of a GoodWill donation bin.

I regret that she did not, but I was thinking about writing a book on her (or at the very least mentioning her extensively in it) when I get done with some of my other projects.

I’ve always loved seeing famous authors’ annotations

>>18149227
Publish it with arktos. I'll buy it

>>18148866
Rarely useful or tasteful. If they’re either, any used bookstore should have some, especially from estate sales (which may be more reliable, to this end)

>>18149240
I'll likely self publish, and chances are it'll end up on Rogue Scholar. I have a notebook full of stuff on the syncretics of NatSoc and various other schizo ramblings on the subject matter.
At the very least once I get 'Blood and Soil' ready I'd love to have it up on Rogue Scholar, as well.

Turns out I was the brainlet all along. There is definitely more proofing to be done here.

>>18148959
Yep. Oxford/Cambridge Annotated editions are pretty good.

>>18148866
OP, the main benefits from annotation is to actively think and engage with the source material as you annotate. Passively reading pre-made annotations reduces your active engagement with the text, and reduces your comprehension and memory.

Nothing peeves me more.

>>18148866
You can have all my books once I kms, I have heavily annotated every single one of them.

>>18149334
Shit take

>>18148942
Pre-owned by a scholar of the book preferably

I’m about to start reading the Iliad, should I annotate it? In general I only annotate nonfiction or literature that I’m reading for class.

Some people can be dumb
I can also be dumb sometimes
I enjoy my annotations occasionally but sometimes I was not as involved in reading as i couldve been

>>18152178
Nah

>>18148866
A better question, what do you annotate you books with?
>>18149022
I can understand. I think it is common to react rashly and throw the baby out with the bath water so to speak when plunging into new philosophies. In the last generation it was a reaction against Christianity, Capitalism and/or Authoritarianism, ect. that lead to the hippies who eventually settled down. I don't think it would be out place to think a similar type of ideological reaction against progressivism would take place in todays young men. People change, but who knows what the future will hold.
