I have begun to read with notebook and pen by my side as well as the coloured pencil I have always used which means my books are still not easily passed on but that i take notes about ideas sparked by the book that I want to consider at another time.
I know there will be those who will think marking a book in any way is some sort of crime but I have no such qualms except when it comes to library books or books from someone else’s shelves.
I do not purchase new books very often so many a second-hand book has been found with notes and lines within its pages. It doesn’t bother me rather I find myself often given a gift as the previous owners marks open up a whole new landscape of thought that I would have missed. I love the fact that each reader finds their own story, truth, ideas, no matter how hard the author may have wished otherwise
Words are so powerful that their energy is felt in a myriad of ways by one reader and then the next reader may catch other energy and so it goes on.
