This idea that you are harming, destroying, wasting, or like otherwise abusing books by dog-earing the pages, highlighting things, writing on them, etc. is really whack and makes no sense and literally no one should be beholden to it when they own books.

Literally every single humanities/social science teacher or professor I’ve ever had has books that are covered with sticky tabs and notes in all the margins. Books are meant to be enjoyed. You make a book yours by covering it with your thoughts.

That’s just a part of reading. I don’t know why there’s this aversion to enjoying them but like... books are t decorative. Who are you “preserving” them for by not leaving marks on them?

write in your books!
