Based, it's a good way to screen the author too before you give them money (assuming you get the e-book free)

Pretty cool. I do the same, but with borrowing books and buying them if I really like them. I also sometimes go to gypsy bazaars and buy heaps of classical lit for next to nothing too, though.

we're reaching levels of based-ness never thought of before.

I do the same thing, but only with books I want to do deep reads on, just absolutely filling up the margins. This makes it so the only books I have on my shelf are books I absolutely love. So far I've got:
>The Sound and the Fury
>Don Quixote
>Moby Dick
>The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
>Mosses from an Old Manse
>The Bible (In English, Spanish, and Japanese)
>Augustine's Confessions
>Edgar Allan Poe's Poetry and Tales
>Edgar Allan Poe's Essays and Reviews
>Shakespeare's Sonnets
>Kokoro
>Snow Country
I do mark up even my most expensive books, because I want each book I love to be a part of me.

>buy books
>download a PDF or whatever for the convenience of it
i dont know if its right but it is what it is.

Me too, but only if the author is alive. I'm not paying freeloaders schmooching on their estate
