Same here!!! I freak if I see any creases on my books. And I hate dog-eared pages. I can't help but worry over them eventhough I've already read past the page.

I scribble notes on my textbooks, too so it's easy to study.

Happy BTT!

I hate to write on my novel books...enough said hehehe

We all seem to have same set of rules about text books and paperbacks.

Like-minded?

:D

Textbooks got me into the underlining habit for a while (although only with non-fiction books). I recovered. :)

I write notes on the margins, underline and highlight text, and do all sorts of other markings on me books. Only non-fiction though. For some funny reason...

Paperbacks are safe from such tortures. ;)

I had a nice collection of erasable coloured pencils for textbooks - very good for note-taking. I used to put the year I got them on the flyleaf of novels but I haven't done that for years.

I feel pretty much the same as you. I do write in many non-fiction books... notes to help me remember pertinent information. But fiction?? NO. Never.

Happy BTT!

So often my school texts were already written in because I bought them used, and so my added marks meant so little. :-)

I am taking a class right now and can't even highlight in my textbook!

Me too!

Interesting answer, I don't remember writing in my textbooks. I definitely don't write in any of my novels.

Have a great day and Happy Reading!!!

I don't write in mine, either. That just seems wrong. :)

I so agree! No writing in novels! I can't even bring myself to crease a corner--- I use a bookmark always! I find myself smoothing out the corners that have been turned if the book is used or from the library. Diane

I really hate dog-eared pages. I improvise all kinds of odd things for book marks but never turn down the page.

I write in my books, but dog-eared pages make me break out in hives.

Happy BTT!

I am guilty of sometimes dog earing pages. Happy BTT.

Hi Den! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who did that, hehe.

Hey Julia! Yeah, I hear you. LOL.

Hi Gautami! Yes, I can see there are a lot of us here who thinks the same.

Hi Heather! Ah...yes, I think I did that (as well as highlighting) on my school textbooks too. Hehe.

Hey Alice! I think I'm more lenient when it comes to school textbooks, but unlike so to novels. ;)

Hi Geraniumcat! Ooh..you even have erasable coloured pencils! Mine is so boring because I only use pencils and/or yellow highlighters.

Hi Marianne! I can see a lot of us think alike. :)

Hey Wendy! I totally understand about used textbooks, not that we can help it though. :D

Hi Jaimie! I don't mind highlighters, as long as I didn't highlight the whole page! LOL.

Hi Chris! Thanks for stopping by. :)

Hi Stacy! Wow, you must be a great booklover! ;)

Hi Holly! I think so in novels, but as for school textbooks, I think that's excusable IMO, LOL.

Hi Diane! I will do the same too!

Hi Donna! I love bookmarks. I have been collecting them since I was in primary school. :D

Hi Writing and Living! I guess some of us have issues when it comes to dog-eared pages, hehe.

Hi Pussreboots! No prob, to each his own. :)

I hate writing in books and turning down the pages, it's just wrong to me somehow! I re-read Alice in Wonderland and I found I had written in that during uni and I think it's my only book with pencil markings in it!

Hi Rhinoa! I'm like you, I don't like scribblings on my paperbacks, unless they are dedications from friends/families as a gift. :)
