      Hi! I understand how the annotation method works! So the why is so the reader can understand what is being said in the chapter/article. As for the how, there’s lots of methods. Like underlining certain parts, or using different color high lighters like he did. It’s really to have a better understanding of what’s going on. Also to just point out what was interesting to them.

      I personally annotate or make notes of events that are significant and could hint towards the overall theme of the book and use it for an essay. I also like tabbing well-written sentences to look back on and inspire me in the future (studying the prose ).

    i only annotate some of my books, either if its really good or its really boring and i want something to do. i started to annotate more when i got my kindle and was highlighting a lot on that and i really liked it and decided to carry it over to my physical book reading. i dont annotate this heavily, i’ll just highlight and/or underline bits that make me feel emotion (e.g. they make me laugh or smile or make me sad or even cry) or that i feel like they might be important, sometimes im too lazy to annotate, sometimes im not, it kind of varies. i also dont use different colours for different things, i just use whatever colour i have on me at the time

    I've never done it. Too much of a mental hangup about "defacing" books. Probably because so many books I have read over the years have come from the library. Even books I buy I feel like a custodian rather than an owner. But this would be fun to try with a big, complicated, fantasy novel.

    I don't annotate books for a good number of reasons.
    1. I don't have the tools
    2. I like to keep my books clean and in their original state
    3. My handwriting and drawing skills SUCKS
    4. I would spend so much of my time annotating, that I'd end up reading so much slower than I already do 😭
    However I do see the appeal. It must help remember the story a lot more and it would be fun to see your first thoughts when re-reading, seeing what theories and what not you had and see how ridiculously dumb you were.

      Well, it's good it isn't your book then, isn't it :D! He owns the book, he can do what he wants, there's enough copies out there that it's okay to do so. Plus, it's not like this is a rare copy, you can find it often enough that it also isn't a worry.
      Would I personally annotate books ? No, but I'm just not much of a note-taker full stop.
      He's enjoying the book, and it isn't destroying the book, it's building character. For you, yes. For him, no.

    I usually dont annote fiction. But nonfiction, especially history - yes!
    My sister tells a stoŕy of how she and her boyfriend passed my bedroom door and saw me sprawled o. My bed, with at least three open books around me. I was busy making notes in two of them.
    Her boyfriend asked if iI did this on a nòrmal basis. "Oh yes, " sheanswer3d.all the time."
    Another sister gave me an e-reader one year. It was loaded with a hundred classic books. She told me I could delete them if I wanted. I told her that no, I wanted to keep them. "But they're classics!"
    "Uh huh," I answered."I want to read the ones Ihaven't yet." She walked away, shaking her head.
    As I read "Beowulf", I discovered a real problem with e-readers. You can't write notes in the margins!
