<p>I like to keep them clean, which is sooooo much of a hassle when studying for SAT's. </p>
<p>But I just can't stand writing on the books. :(</p>
<p>Yes…I need like 6-7 sheets of paper just to do one practice test. I get my mom to make copies of the essay part.</p>
<p>I don’t like highlighting. Just makes things messy.</p>

<p>Do you still write on the book? For example like non-practice test type questions. </p>
<p>Like for example, the Blue Book has 10 tests. But do you write on the parts other then the tests?</p>
<p>pencil is fine. i hate creasing the binding though, or damaging my books otherwise</p>
<p>I like highlighting and writing in the margins with pencils. I feel it adds a little personality to the book. I hate when other people highlight stuff though because it throws me off.</p>
<p>I love finding notes from other people in my books. My favorite was from a concerned gentleman, in trouble with his school’s administration, writing to his lady friend on the topic of the “wackin’ and flashin’” activity that landed him in the principal’s office. </p>
<p>Sometimes only half-understanding something makes it that much more entertaining.</p>
<p>I used a razor to cut practice tests and answer sheets out of the blue book and then wrote on both of them. I didn’t use the rest of the book, so its only function, really, was to be a source of practice tests.</p>
<p>If I think it will help with comprehension, I highlight. We have a summer reading assignment of 3 books for AP Modern European History. For the first one, I took notes while reading. For the second one I’m highlighting and adding sticky notes. Can’t be resold, but it’ll help.</p>
<p>Same Here!
I thought I was the only person who does that (Have you ever notice library books? -___-‘’)</p>
<p>I always thought this was an idiosyncrasy. I hated annotating books in high school, and I still can’t write in the margins without feeling guilty. I don’t mind writing in practice SAT books or anything like that, although it makes the books worthless after the first use.</p>
<p>Exactlyyy ^</p>
<p>I don’t mind some writing.
Then again, there is straight-up vandalism in some textbooks. I’d rather see intelligent annotations than a giant detailed manhood.</p>
<p>@nothingto: I don’t write on anything at all in my Blue Book.</p>
<p>I find when I write on my books, they become worthless for second use. That’s my sole reason for not writing on books. However I have a big urge to just write notes since it makes it easier. But then I have this guilt feeling.</p>
<p>As much as it bothers me to write in my books, creasing them is ten times worse >_<. I can’t stand creased papers and books… It drives me crazy.</p>
<p>For me, i do not mind writing on SAT/ACT prep books. I know i wont need them again. But writing on good novels is a no no</p>
<p>It’s too much of a hassle not to write in test prep books and I always highlight AP prep books because it’s easier than taking notes.
But I hate writing/marking in regular books.</p>
<p>I had to annotate for a summer assignment, but just wrote the notes on paper. I hate writing in my literature. I want to keep them clean in case someone wants to borrow them, or in case I decide to sell them. I don’t want to waste a perfectly good book for my selfish needs xP</p>
<p>I do too. For some reason I like my books to be exactly how I first got it. Stain-free along with no writing, creases, tears, or highlights. Unless a teacher makes me I usually avoid writing in them except for the type of textbooks that require you to have your name. </p>
<p>Though, this doesn’t really stop me from using hard-backs as instant bug swatters.</p>
<p>^ Lol! I used two books recently to squash bugs x)</p>
<p>^^ Lol I squatted a bug with a paper-cover book. Needless to say I never used that book again.</p>
