Annotating Books

You’re reading this because you’re a paid subscriber. Thank you! 🤍

I’m currently enjoying Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Hindi ko na ita-try i-explain kung tungkol san yung book at kung bakit sya maganda, kasi hindi ako magaling mag-pitch ng libro. Pero ang gusto kong topic ay kung pano ko sya ina-annotate.

Naaalala ko yung mga times na bawal na bawal sakin magkaron ng crease yung spine ng libro. Hindi rin sya pwedeng masulatan. Pag aksidenteng natupi yung cover o isa sa mga pages, parang katapusan na ng mundo. I’m sure sobrang daming nakaka-relate sa inyo. The book had to remain pristine and unchanged. The only change was one that remains invisible: that it’s been read.

Nakakapagbasa na ko which means magaling na ko! Yayy. Ilang araw nang masama ang pakiramdam ko ultimo pagbabasa hindi ko magawa. Naputol yung reading streak ko pero okay lang, gusto ko lang magpagaling. Di rin ako makapagsulat. Naiipon na ang mga kwento ko. For now eto muna.

After reading a chapter, I placed Mary Oliver’s Upstream close to my chest. And this is the first time I’ve ever hugged a book.

This one is still on the way

It was Black Friday so the hardcovers are cheaper and almost the same price as the paperback. I don’t particularly prefer hardbounds to paperbacks because I find hard copies bulky and heavy. But I was in a I-want-to-try-something-new mood that day so I went for the out of the usual choice.
