This is what a book should look like

In case you weren’t sure, authors actually love it when you deface their books like this reader has done to mine.

Unless you’ve borrowed the book from a library or a friend, the book is yours. Do with as you please!

Maybe not burn it, but even then, if an author has enraged you to such a degree, maybe burning is the only proper response.

Books are sacred, to be sure, but they are also meant to engage you. Inform you. Entertain you. Challenge you. There’s nothing wrong with arming yourself with a pen or a highlighter or a squadron of post-it notes and firing back.

Positively or negatively. Or perhaps just methodically, as the reader has done here.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed seeing these pictures.
