I think Clive James, one of my favourite writers, once told of enjoying the archaeology of notes in old books he'd bought, and then adding so many of his own to the mix. Provided it didn't obscure the text or introduce spoilers, I think it would be a pleasure to buy books others had read and to read their reactions and investigations and enthusiasms and even links to memories you can't access for meaning.
I write in books occasionally, after all, they're my books.
Cheers,
