i just checked out 4 books from the college library, all on leslie marmon silko. now, i last checked these out in november. and since then, someone has underlined passages in all of them. most are in pencil. some are in pen.
and you know what? it pisses me off enough that i’m erasing the marks as i come upon them. is that neurotic? obsessive-compulsive? i just can’t believe that someone would deface a library book like that. have books become so commonplace, so easily tossed aside that someone can just mark them up without a second thought?
what kind of barbaric children are people raising out there?
