[chuckling] I've tried to train myself out of silly irrationalities like that. Some die hard. I counted the dog-earing of the paperbacks as progress. And then I picked up a foot-noted copy of Paradise Lost and planned to highlight in it, and couldn't do it.
The teachers at school constantly wanted us to write in our store-bought books (but not the school textbooks, of course) and it constantly pissed me off. I went through several packs of "erasable" pens one year when the teacher would check to see if we were scribbling notes in the margins. Fucking hated that.
