Mom: “Wow. You wrote in the book.”
Me: “I scribbled all over the book. It‘s a Norton. Nortons are made for scribbling.” 😂

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks We are writing in the books for the Litsy Markup Postal Book Club and it is KILLING ME!!!!! Are you in doing it also? 🤣😂😱😩 #LMPBC #Groupn 7y
JacqMac So very true! I wish I still had my Norton, with the scribbles all over it. After 20 plus years, who knows where it landed. 7y
DGRachel @JacqMac I have all my Norton Anthologies from college. I couldn‘t bear to part with them. 7y

DGRachel @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks No, I‘m not. I‘d struggle to write in a book that other people would have to read, too. I pretty much only write in my NCEs and similar books. I do love annotating all my Kindle books, though. I use the highlight function A LOT. 7y
CarlyQuinn As a teacher, this is hard for me BUT as a drama major, English minor, this is totally normal, UNLESS it‘s a classic or it‘s part of a matching set (such as my set of Shakespeare‘s works, etc. I do though tend to mark the poop out of scripts and textbooks. Highlights, pencil, sticky notes, etc. 7y
dsfisher Watching this woman @DGRachel for years inspecting books & their dust jackets for any imperfections it always gives me pause when I see her actually writing in a book. 7y
kspenmoll @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I used sticky notes but realized ( after mailing) they will probably fall off. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @kspenmoll maybe they won‘t!!!!! 😊😊😊 7y

Up next is my selection for a classic by an author of color for the BookRiot Read Harder challenge. The actual text is short, so I hope to knock it out today. Yes, 20 years after graduating college, I still buy NCEs and read literary criticism for fun😂. #currentlyreading #nortoncriticaledition #EnglishLitMajor

Palimpsest I love that you seek out Norton editions. 7y
tpixie As a science major, i had no idea NCE‘s existed!!! Interesting! 7y
