"How to Mark a Book" Summary

I enjoyed reading this article because it really made me think about how I read books and how if I followed the steps I could possibly be a better writer or reader. This article is talking about how you should mark all over your book with notes, but make sure it is your copy and not someone else's. A book is like your diary, with all the notes written throughout it, it becomes personal to you. You don't want to let anyone borrow your book, make them go get a copy of there own. Books have beauty and meaning to them, but only if you really read it and dig deep down into it. I would apply these steps as reader by going through the steps the article suggested. You should highlight, make notes in the margins, put stars and other symbols by important passages. It's helpful because if you are going to write a paper about it then you can always go back and look at your notes.
