Finally finished the third volume of Capital. Not going to lie, it was a challenge and quite a journey, but well worth it. Rip to the many, many highlighters that gave their lives for this endeavor.
AMA!

Goddamn, I was coming here to call you a blasphemer for defacing your books with highlighting but that is some ninth circle shit.
Marking up books is good and everyone should do it when reading. Fiction and non fiction. You're actively engaging with the material. Of course unless it's a shared book or ya just don't want to
I get why people do it, especially for dense texts like these, but to me it’d be like hard-coding a commentary track from someone who hasn’t seen the full movie.
I think that’s part of the fun. You go back and read and see what you missed or realize you still don’t understand a concept or learn that you now understand and want to dig deeper. If now you understand and find the commentary unhelpful you erase.
I don't generally highlight when I'm reading for my own edification, but I can't read something dense like this without doing so. It just helps me slow down and think about what is actually important in what I'm reading
My Volume I is littered with post-it notes that stop abruptly after Chapter 10.
That's where you entered THE ZONE presumably
Oh yeah. Smooth sailing from there until the end. That's the ticket!
