Finally finished the third volume of Capital. Not going to lie, it was a challenge and quite a journey, but well worth it. Rip to the many, many highlighters that gave their lives for this endeavor.
AMA!
I crack the hell out of the spine before reading cause it keeps the book open easier
Apparently there are some people who tear out a page when they’re done reading it
I’m not saying that there’s a book hell, but I am saying that you would definitely go there for that
Goddamn, I was coming here to call you a blasphemer for defacing your books with highlighting but that is some ninth circle shit.
Marking up books is good and everyone should do it when reading. Fiction and non fiction. You’re actively engaging with the material. Of course unless it’s a shared book or ya just don’t want to
You can ‘break in’ a spine without breaking it!! You stand it on its spine, ready to read, with all the pages closed. Then you open a few pages from the front to the table. Then a few pages from the back. Then a few from the front. Then the back. Etc, etc, working towards the middle. It stops the spine warping, too.
