Guilty as charged

February 3, 2014

I’m a bit chagrined to admit, but I don’t read as much of the Sunday New York Times as I should. But once in a while I’ll find something that makes me go “Hmmm.”

SScreen Shot 2014-02-03 at 3.27.14 PMo here’s one from yesterday’s Week in Review section about “Scribbling in the Margins.”

Now, while I would never deface a library books, as the folks in the piece do, I do frequently write my thoughts on various passages in the margins (no doodling though). I actually enjoy buying used books that have such marginalia. The previous owner might have insights that I might not have considered.
