When I would check out books in middle school I would take little bits of scrap paper and scribble down a quick review of what I thought about the book and leave it wedged in the first few pages. Most of the books got a thumbs up. x3

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
I really like that idea, Hannibalism, I'll have to try it sometime!
Anyway, if I ever have to jot a note down about something in a book, I do it on a post-it and stick it on the page on which I found it. It saves me the trouble of searching for the page, and keeps the pages clean. I'll even flip out if a books pages are dog-eared!
What's my offense this time?

I like your idea as well. It's creative and while I despise people writing in public property novels I encourage it for an individual trying to analyze the literature. It's required in my mind. Now my novels I have that are my precious will never be borrowed or written in. I protect them like America protects it oil.

I feel that a book itself is something personal, that can be shared between to people. It's especially intimate between strangers. The knowledge, adventure or just fun it provides is shared amongst its readers. But when you read a book yourself, it's fairly impossible to know its past without the writings within it.
I personally have only written in school books, like underlining facts, changing sentences so they make more sense to me, that type of thing. I think I worry too much about what the next person reading it would think about when they see what I left behind. Still, I love finding books with little notes in them. Especially the things that are completely random, where you can guess what they meant, but never know for sure. It's actually on my bucket list ((You've probably seen the movie if nothing else)) to get 100 books with notes written by strangers in them before I die. Admittedly, I'm enough of a bibliophile that I don't expect to have much furniture past book cases in my first apartment either.

Just Before An Eclipse That's an awesome idea. I will definitely start doing that, though probably with Silas Manner's idea of post-its. I would be really excited if I found a review in a book myself.
Only thing I've found in previously owned/checked out books were nifty book marks or entire chapters missing. x.x
