So, Annotations...


I'm re-reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and I'm making an active attempt to annotate it/highlight it/ make notes in it to the best of my ability. Up until now I've been unhappy with the idea of writing in my books since I like to keep them as pristine as possible.  However, I like the idea of leaving behind your own thoughts and marks and ideas in a novel. I've taken baby steps into the world of annotation by writing a note here and there or underlining a sentence that I like whilst reading but Dorian Gray will be my first full-frontal annotation attempt.

So how many of you annotate your books? What sorts of things do you highlight/write? Which of your books have you marked up the most?
