    Anyone ever tempted to write in the margins of their books? Ideas or emotional responses to what they've just read? References to what's going on in life or other things that they've read that relate to what's in the book? Do you?

Depends on the book. I'm generally one who won't even dog ear pages. BUT I have (had maybe at this point...) an AA Big Book that I heavily annotated with how much I thought it was a crock of shit. More academic reads or self helpy stuff? Yes maybe sometimes it depends. Novels?NEVER!
