Library books

Whenever I feel like being indignant, I think about people who write and underline in library books. I’m not puritanical about books. It makes me cringe when people talk about a book’s smell like it brings them to the brink of orgasm. It’s a nice smell, but that’s all.

If you bought the book, you can scribble as much as you like. If it’s in a public library, keep your oozy biro away from it. Do you think that everyone who needs to write an essay on semiotic theory wants to read your reflections on the topic?
