This is what a lot of my books look like. How do I stop over-underlining?

Stop and ask yourself if something is actually important?

Do what you want with a book. But brackets on the side with a word or two of why it's underlined is cleaner and more helpful.

>> No.11633332

Sidelining paragraphs and little "L"s and reverse "L"s for underlining sentences is the way to go.

i bought a copy of story of the eye from an oxfam bookshop
all the most gruesome and lurid bits were highlighted
at first i thought it was one of the fucknuts on this board that donated it but none of the pages were stuck together so it probably wasn't

I was taught not to write in book. Also anything worth noting should be writing in a seperate book or marked with a bookmark.

>> No.11633403

>>11632597
I don't mind pencil markings. But people who highlight half the passages and write pen scribbles everywhere are the worst.
