I get writings too, even outside of Amazon. They mostly come with lines and highlights, very rarely are they annotated. The ones annotated are usually from used bookshops downtown.

Why even annotate? I never got the appeal.

Sometimes I read the annotations people made in the books I have and they make no sense
>Get world history book
>90% of text is underlined
>occasionally a small annotation like “Egypt” next to a paragraph about Ancient Egypt or “World War 2” next to a paragraph about the USSR
What was the point?

Yep...happened with the copy of "Rules For Dictators" I ordered.
At least the copious annotations were amusing.
The previous owner was clearly woke-triggered by the material. HA ha! Pwned.

Genuinely profound. I find it difficult to believe Trump actually said this.
