I purchased The Castle by Fritz Kafka. Inside, a girl had scribbled all sorts of horrible annotations like "metaphor for God?", "Existential Horror", and "Is K. An Atheist?"
My fear is that when I die and my estate is distributed, my literary reputation; which will at that point be stellar, will simply plummet, and I will become the butt of many many highbrow and lowbrow jokes.
Should I throw the book away?

My mom got me the Iliad and it had feminist notations

This is why I use fucking pencil when I annotate so that if my lazy ass doesn't erase it, someone else can.

Absolutely. You've already done enough damage letting her thoughts enter into your mind. Always in the sultry dark primitive region of your brain echoes a voice, whispering "IS K. an Atheist?" Now shouting "METAPHOR FOR GOD?!"

Search really well if it has a phone number you can dial and masturbate to her voice
If it doesn't have a phone number then smell the pages

I throw all bad books in the trash, whether the bad book is bad by fault of the author or the reader

What?
The obvious answer is to dedicate your life to finding out who annotated the book.
