Re: Writing? IN BOOKS?
I rarely make use of public libraries now, but when I did, it used to infuriate me when I signed out a book only to find that some twit had defaced it's pages. If the markings were in pencil, I'd erase them. If in pen, I'd report the vandalism to the librarian when I next went in to the library.

I'm high school, my English teacher made us write in our books. We were required to purchase a copy of the book, and annotate in the margins, high light, and record thoughts. IN THE ACTUAL BOOK! I was completely appalled by the idea. After we were finished with the book, we were required to turn it in so she could see our thoughts. With this process, I really learned to notice symbolism and alliteration as well as different ways of developing opinions about plot and characters. I would never write in a loaner book, or a nice hardcover copy. I rarely write in them anymore, but I did learn to accept it and use it to help my reading!

I have to admit I am a little backwards there. I tend to write in books but not in workbooks. I get those college ruled composition books to write the questions and answers down in from workbooks. That way I can reuse or revisit the workbook at a later date and continue to learn from it.kandscreeley wrote:I pretty much avoid writing in books unless it is a workbook. I don't think it would bother me too much if it was just a small note here and there, but if it was throughout, it would be REALLY annoying.
