Is there anything worse than borrowing a book that has ineligeble shit scribbled all around the text like that?
Can you keep your thoughts out of the paper you fucking cunt? Also what's the point of writing in with a pencil if you're not going to erase it before you return the book?

Someone who does that please explain this shit to me.

Shameful. My problem is I get pulled into any of my ideas that I could somehow associate with what the text is saying, but to actually put into words those ideas is far too elaborate for a simple margin. It's easier to see the image in my head and retain it than try to articulate it there for "future memory" lets say.

I checked out Heart of a Dog from my university's library. Some autistic Russian professor or Russian major had gone through the entire book and "corrected" parts of the translation annotating why it was incorrect. It was fucking autistic as hell. How triggered do you have to be? And it was always over petty bullshit. No meaning was lost.

You ever consider that the text was annotated by its owner and then donated to the library?

Donors probably do not remember which book they marked up, and it is doubtful that they will check, especially if they are giving a big stack.

I only did that to my own books, plus I keep my reading habit out of my social interactions with any people, so nothing to feel guilty about.
