What you're actually doing is annoying the fuck out of anyone else who's reading it.
The number of people who did that in uni... and they'd always right the most pointless, insipid horseshit in there. The only time it was redeeming was a 20-year conversation in the margins of Plato's republic (or possibly Aristotle's Politics, I forget) where one of our Greek protagonists talks about 'the right to have a slave' and the first person wrote something like '[x]'s racism invalidates his whole philosophy!!!' and loads of other readers (clearly being a bit brighter) wrote a series of brilliant insults ('ABSOLUTE. FUCKING. MORON.').
Otherwise, this is absolutely inexcusable behaviour.

no, i dont right intellectual notes/analysis in the margins, I just write like "Sonic Youth" or tag, or put "Rastafari Selassie I Vibrations" or other personal touches. I dont bother with putting my intepretations/analysis, I put those notes in notebooks.
