And more and more, I depending on electronic sources so this is becoming even less of an issue.
I'm with the others on this one. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I read this blog (linked below) in the Guardian, and I found it oddly comforting. I tend to read with a pencil in hand. Not always, but very often. I find that the better the book, the more I require a writing tool.
But I have also found that some people consider writing in books (and we are talking about books that you own, of course; not those a friend has lent to you or that you got from the library) a heresy on par with burning them.
I love finding writing in books as well, which is probably why I have kept up the habit despite the frequent disapproval from others. Books have histories, and if I am part of that history, I do not see how my making that visible detracts from the book at all.
Your thoughts?

I'll add notes in the margins of textbooks but not fiction or anything I read for enjoyment

I used to edit a literary magazine, so I would always be folding corners of pages
