    Since I turned 30 I write in the margins of books I read. The better the book is the more notes. Its much more engaging.

      Ok, but what is there to take notes about? Assuming it’s a novel, and not some reference book.

        If you have really complex books with lots of story threads, I can imagine doing this. For example in Tolstoy’s War and Peace or GRRM A song of ice and fire books.

          It would be more useful to take notes besides the book rather than inside it in that case. Maybe it’s just me, though.
