I don't do it.

I'm not against it though. I enjoy getting a textbook that someone else wrote or highlighted in. It's like being inside their mind!

If I wrote in a textbook in gradeschool, I (or more likely my dad) would be forced to buy it.

If I write in a textbook nowadays, I don't get as much resale value.

I NEVER write in textbooks.

That's not to say that my brother hasn't taken one from me when I was in gradeschool and drew a bunch of dicks in it. Luckily, they somehow missed that.

What they DIDN'T miss was the "turn to page 94", "turn to page XX", and after fifteen or so of those "boy are you stupid for going through all those pages." My teacher was pissed.

I hated those.

But for some reason, I followed through with it every time I saw it in a book. >.>

I somehow resisted the urge to do those. Probably because the goosebumps books that are like that bore me to death and there's no way some random textbook could be more interesting..

i always annotate.
i don't sell books back, so i don't worry about resale value.
annotation is critical for successful translation.

All the textbooks I've had so far have been school property, so writing in them is basically a no no.
I do it sometimes when I cant find paper though(It's not like the teachers actually check the books so >_>)

I bet 100% I will start doing it when I start at Uni though >_>

Ryu... how they let you use the internet? >_>




Regarding the poll, I write to correct, only.
But a friend (girl) in high school wrote some useless notes in one of my books a few times.

I find that the right kind of annotations can always help someone, no matter what type of book they're in.

Oh god annotations. Not only do you hate this book, but I'm going to prolong your suffering by making you annotate it. Fuck that. I DON'T want to understand the Scarlet Letter, I DON'T want to understand the life story of a faggot. Burn literature, burn!

Sorry but I really hate this English Lit shit. Not only do I think its useless as hell but the fact that I cannot see things the way that Lit is supposed to seen has made English classes a pain in the ass...


and I never write in books. I want to sell them again...

I voted for "I do it all the time" because I did in high school. The books were free and I thought that I could help people. Also, I thought that I might brighten someone's day every now and then, if I made what I considered to be a hilarious comment.

Haven't done it once since getting to college though, don't want to risk having to buy it (because we rent them here, aww yeah).
