do you left a personal note inside books, /lit/?

I wish I kept the poems that my ex-girlfriend wrote for me.

>>24843146 (OP)
nope. I suggest bottle everything up until I have a nervous breakdown in front of my friends and colleagues.

I considering writing on the pages of a book sacrilege. I don't know why, I really dislike acquiring secondhand books with someone else's notes in especially if they are in ink and they obscure the text itself.

OP's photo I would consider a worthy exception to have someone gift you a book with a personal note.

I find little notes and passages interesting when the books are sufficiently old.

I don't find it interesting when a retard has decided to underline or circle things at random or constantly scribble in the margins.

I would kill for an Amy

if you make a present of a book, yes it's the right thing to do.

If it isn't a larp, the fact that this deep show of affection ended up in a cheap bookstore is metaphysically depressing. How fickle love is!

Stately, round-bellied Bhaskar Menon came out from the rooftop steps, balancing a brass lota of water on which floated a cake of Mysore sandal soap and a dull razor. His loose kurta, unbuttoned, fluttered behind him in the mild Chennai dawn breeze.

He raised the lota high. “Hari Om!” he chanted in mock solemnity, the sound carrying over the tiled roofs and the cries of the cow dung vendors below. “Attend, O faithful disciple! The morning Gorehabba of the high priest of Marina Beach begins!”

I found a bunch of cute girly simple- minded but endearing notes (written in glitter pen) in a copy of Ovid. Front page had the name Kimberly something.
Bought the book even tho I already had a copy of that translation, just cuz it felt good knowing I was holding a book a girl had held.
And yea I masturbated while reading the annotations and smelling the pages. So what

still better than my current lonesome chungus life

I have always lived near colleges. Both community and 4 years, and as a result of that I've built up a collection of used books from thrift stores that are filled with notes and comments from 19-25yr old students.
>The guys always write cold 2 word comments or paragraph long explanations in the margins. Lots of underlining.
>The girls write 2 or 3 sentences at a time that are more of a running commentary and feel like a dialogue they're having with the text. More highlighter and it can sometimes read like a black lady in a movie theatre.
