Mark-ups
Do you write in your books? Highlight? Make notes? Or do you like to keep your copies as pristine as possible?
Good god no. I like to keep my copies as pristine as possible, unless I have multiple copies of it, but even then very rarely. I just don’t like to deface books, but in the past I have done so in books that I have bought when I was at college, and when I was a kid, but nowadays I wouldn’t dream of it.

I’ve gone the exact opposite! When I was a kid I refused to bend the spines (still refuse to do this) or mark in them or fold pages. I’m less hesitant about folding pages these days for quotes and stuff and only use pencil so I can erase when I’m done.
I just can’t do that any more.
