(How do people dream up these questions?)

Writing ON ... dear L25, not IN. No one writes ON a book and then publishes it (with the possible exception of the Sumerians).L25 wrote:i will wait for them to have a break. and then i will go and approach them saying "excuse me" or "sorry". and i will add "i couldnt stop noticing you are writting a book". i will say that i wish that book will turn into a great one and best seller. i will wish them whole heartly and i will leave.

If I saw someone writing on a book I would squirt them with mustard from one of those squeezy bottles. If no mustard were available I would use catsup. If no catsup could be found I would throw acorns. And if I couldn't find any acorns I would throw a squirrel ... that's what it gets for hiding all the acorns.

I'd restrain myself from asking them what they wrote. Finding scraps of paper others have left behind brings my heart smiles.
Although I don't jot notes or annotate my novels, when I have written in books, it feels like journaling. Responding to the art, and taking this particular copy and making it mine. I also have gone through phases of bending a paperbook backward while I read, dog-earing, ect. Seeing the effects of such habits have wrenched my heart like wringing out a wet towel, so naturally, I've given them up. But there is something to be said about responding to a book like that. Its a relationship, then

I agree. As long as it is not my book.Elle Howard wrote:I would mind my own business. It is their property so they can do as they please. You never know if they are actually writing in the book or on a paper. There are too many people in the world looking for verbal/physical confrontations. Better to just walk away.
