When I read I always write in the margins. It does not matter if it is for academia or personal pleasure (doesn't that sound a little naughty), I will always, always make marks in my books. If I am lucky enough to have a highlighter on me I will go through and mark the phrases or passages that are important to the plot, are key to the understanding of the work, or showcase incredible written craftsmanship. I love to look back and easily know what is going on in the work from the quick notes along with finding it interesting to see how I interpreted the passage through my probing questions and arrows. Do you ever do this when you are reading?
