Whether marginal notes scrawled in pencil, underlined passages in pen, or digital highlights layered with commentary, annotation elevates reading from passive absorption to active engagement.
You pried it open, a smidgen. Are you consciously trying to turn me? I’m one of those cretins who disdains defiling a book. Now, reading a book on Kindle and making notes in Book Tracker has freed me a bit to make notes, comments and highlights. I know it’s not the same as the physical connection with a real book. On the edge, I guess, I’m a work in progress?

I would recommend first reading Adler’s book, which addresses “those cretins who disdain defiling a book.”!
Thank you, the book is on order. May I annotate it?
