Jared Loper commented on Alexander The Z's blog post Books 5 & 6 in 2012!"Sweet. I didn't like Gatsby too much either. In my modern literature class, I ended up writing a paper about how the book was actually about how Nick (the narrator) was gay. I felt like Gatsby was almost secondary."
Alexander The Z commented on Alexander The Z's blog post Books 5 & 6 in 2012!"Well I mean, I sort of liked it... I just didn't enjoy it that much... if that makes sense. And I agree that the Hunger Games trilogy gets a bit worse from book to book (although I maybe don't have as "extreme" opinions as…"
Jessica Larsen commented on Alexander The Z's blog post Books 5 & 6 in 2012!"I understand fully that not everyone has the same taste in books as I do.

McKenna Huff replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"It really depends on what I'm reading. You can tell I really love a book if it's all marked up! My copy of MacBeth is very colorful and there's as much writing in the margins as can possibly fit, the same goes for my copy of Animal…"
Tyler Skirble replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"Every one of my books are highlighted and marked with tons of notes. That is, except my signed copies"
Elaine Anderson replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"The most influential English teacher I´ve ever had once told me: "Ideas are sacred. Books aren´t".
I am a shameless margin-writer. When I re-read it always reminds what I was going through when I last read the book and how I…"
Stacia replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"I write and underline in books I love. My copy of Looking For Alaska is a mess. A happily thought filled mess. I like to look back at what i was thinking when i was reading it and some words sound so good strung into sentences that they…"
Nevs replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"I do that as well. I think they look kind of charming when they're dog-eared."
Nevs replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"For me, it depends on the book. If I am trying to learn something from the book, I will annotate, But for just fun reading, I typically don't unless I come across a reference that I wish to look up."
Ashmeera Sevellaraja replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"Apart from study notes, I try not to write in my books. There was a time when I used to dog-ear them a lot when I was younger but being the OCD person I am I don't like my books being messy. :P"
Kristo replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"I don't underline, but I do make notes. Especially if it's for study purposes. Greatly improves memorizing important material, provided that I go through the notes often enough.
One of the last things I wrote down was from a poem…"
Danno replied to Alexander The Z's discussion Do you mark/highlight/scribble in your books, and why/why not?"i'm actually curious now, as to how this compares to the subject of dog-ears
honestly for me, it depends on the book. while i really dislike highlighting, if i'm reading a book mostly designed for study, or which i am at least…"
