Marginalia



Writing in books isn’t just something people do for fun, there’s a name for it – marginalia, and it’s worthy of study. I just checked out a book on marginalia from my library’s website. It’s a book about writing in books, how cool is that? I’ll let you know what I find out later. And while you’re waiting, here’s a link to a video that explains some reasons why writing in books is a good idea. And although it pains me to say so, he makes some valid points!
