I do try to keep my books in good condition. But the only pristine books on our shelves are the ones we've acquired since leaving Texas and Louisiana, the land of the giant paper-eating cockroach!

I think the thought goes with the quote/passage, so I put them right together like a diary. I understand the computer thing, but I rarely read near a computer, it's almost always during my morning communte or during my lunch hour at work or while I'm waiting in line at the store.Literature Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745445935235997199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-19555013799561086302008-10-30T08:04:00.000-07:002008-10-30T08:04:00.000-07:00I try so hard to keep the spine unbroken, but with...I try so hard to keep the spine unbroken, but with bigger books, it's often too much trouble (because you can't see the text by the inner part of the page). I never dog-ear any books!! The only books I treat better than my own are library books. Too bad others don't feel the same. I can't tell you how many times I've come across food stuck to pages or coffee stains, or whatever. Gross!!!!! On the other hand, my textbooks from college and law school are so covered in highlighting (always yellow!) and handwritten notes that they're kind of hard to read now.BikerPuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598249279953330970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-6239100164982005382008-10-30T07:21:00.000-07:002008-10-30T07:21:00.000-07:00I love magnetic bookmarks!!I love magnetic bookmarks!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-77679481856047276682008-10-30T06:56:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:56:00.000-07:00This is a great question.

Like you I keep a small notebook I write down quotes in. I have bought a couple books recently from a second hand store that I know must have been from either a high-schooler or a college person. Had to chunk the book because it was so distracting reading their thoughts in the columns.Kathy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026987005323003596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-6562914628509049832008-10-30T04:47:00.000-07:002008-10-30T04:47:00.000-07:00I treat my books with reverence.
