Annotating Books: A Conversation with the Text #neurodivergentlife #executivefunctioning

So as a former English teacher, it's like you have a conversation with the book. It helps with deeper meaning and all this other stuff. And I weirdly like to read books that other people have annotated because then I get to see like how their brain works. I feel like it's so enlightening. But I'm the only one in this house that likes to do this. So when I annotate books, like my husband goes, it's ruined. I can't read it because all I hear is your voice. Like all the time while I'm reading it. And I'm like, well, you read it first and then I'll read it. Because like we've tried to do it before, like where we read the same book and I would annotate and he would annotate. But if I did it first, he was like, I just— it's just you. No. And see, I'm over here like, oh yes, make notes in this book. I want to read like, oh, you liked that quote? Why did you like that quote? Like, I'm so curious. And so I just made it very unsexy for everybody.
