Marginalanteckningarna är en trädgård

”Like having a child or planting a garden, annotating a book is an expression of hope for the future. Adding a comment to a text, I affirm that I, or someone, will pick up the volume again someday — that books will endure as objects of interest in a civilization not wholly digital.”
— Citerat ur ”At the Margins” av Graham Hillard i National Review

Beväpna dig med en penna när du läser

”There is something predatory, cruel even, about a pen suspended over a text. Like a hawk over a field, it is on the lookout for something vulnerable. Then it is a pleasure to swoop and skewer the victim with the nibs sharp point. The mere fact of holding the hand poised for action changes our attitude to the text. We are no longer passive consumers of a monologue but active participants in a dialogue.”

Citerat ur ”A Weapon for Readers” av Tim Parks på NYRB:s blogg. Park skriver väldigt engagerande om läsning, han har skrivit en rad bra texter på temat.
