I have mixed feelings on this one...
No because I hated when my father read his books and gave them to me to read... all underline, highlighted, notes on the side... arggghhhhh....
Not everyone finds the same phrases as bits of enlightment when reading a book... you see it through a different lense...
and Yes because after saying all of the above, I take that old book from my father and read what was important to him and read his comments and it brings me closer to understanding his way of thinking and his history...
Anyway... my books, I don't write on them... so my son is screwed from understanding his dad, lol
