It's a lot of...taking notes/making connections with a book. SO. MANY. POST-ITS. *dies*
Seriously, anyone want a picture of my book? My teacher /requires/ that we write down on post-its while we read, it's terrible...but it does make me look all intelligent n junk!
Immediate reaction: what, is it a school-issued copy?
Because my theory with annotation is that there are millions of other copies, therefore it is fine if I write all the hell over mine. For STW, though, it's getting revenge on the terrible writing.
My book is pretty. At least the first 5/100 chapters that I actually did.
It's covered in highlights and notes written in pen directly in the book. It reminds me of being, like, 10 and attempting my first -- and last -- ever fanfiction. (SOUE, by the way.)
Sorry. It was handwritten, never posted or anything, lost a long time ago. (That was a short-lived fandom addiction until somebody corrected my grammar and I was so intimidated that I left forever. I wasn't the fight-back type of newb. >.>)
I don't know... I never really did any margin writing, never found it to help. Besides, all the questions my teachers wound up asking were about the extended metaphors and symbolism :P:P:P:P:P and I was never able to spot those while reading.
