I also make pencil notes in the margins and write definitions of words I have had to look up. I only use highlighters for paperback books; I just can't bring myself to highlight a hard bound book or a bible.<br /><br />GrandmaK, if you find that a highlighter has bled through to the next page - flimsy paper - keep a stock of nearly run out highlighters for these books.Sharonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-86661784132865471922010-09-24T18:38:19.392-04:002010-09-24T18:38:19.392-04:00If your going to put it up for a vote: I am going ...If your going to put it up for a vote: I am going to give a NAY on the highlighters. I used them once, and instantly realized that I ruined a perfectly good book.Pencils are superior, marginalia is a memorable sign of class.Whoever picked up an old book, marred with dumb yellow stripes, and exclaimed Yippee!Even if they do glow under black lights.Per chance do you happen to remember exactly who that zither playing donkey preacher was?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26883902.post-2754184522229331222010-09-24T06:17:09.232-04:002010-09-24T06:17:09.232-04:00The highlighting cure came for me when I ruined th...The highlighting cure came for me when I ruined the text because the highlighter bled through to the other page.

Then I saw that all of his notes were just passages from the text that he'd underlined and copied in the margins.Saranoreply@blogger.com
