I don't believe in organized annotations. Give me my favorite pen and I go to town on that motherfucker (the book I'm reading)

in which, the first day weather permits the wearing of a cardigan, i find myself obligated to indulge in a reread of the secret history.

I was thinking about annotating and i went through my old books and some newer ones and the difference is hilarious.

My old annotating style :

- A lot of highlights, lot of tabbing, reaction stickers, colorful pens to underline. A true maximalist dream. (Photos from my copy of Phantom of the opera.)

Vs.

My current style : Single black pen, minimal tabbing. ( Photos from my copy of The Handmaiden's Tale)

I made this change of style mostly for comfort, having to carry around a bunch of pens and highlights and tabs is an hassle even if i don't have to move around a lot. Also having to every time have to stop to find the correct color in my pencil holder is a chore.

I'm still finding my way, i still enjoy tabbing and i still enjoy colors.

Perhaps i can try find one of those big multi color pen, i have some with 4 colors ( black, red, blue, green) but i want one of those with a lot lot od colors.

Like one of these.

I definitely won't use highlighters tho they rub dry so quickly.

yall ever just annotate a book and when you go back and see what you annotated you’re just like “why did i even underline this???”

Text annotation is the process of adding labels, tags, or metadata to text data to provide context, meaning, or structure. It is commonly used in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning tasks to train and improve models. Text annotation can involve tasks like named entity recognition, sentiment analysis, part-of-speech tagging, and more to help computers understand and interpret textual information accurately.

I'm gonna read a darker shade of magic and this is my annotations strategy

Green: World building and plot

Blue: Sad or emotional stuff

Black: Characters and Details

Red: Shock or Rage

I don't have matching or neutral tabs. i don't really have a stable annotation strategy. Sometimes i tab with 100 different colors and annotate with just as many colors. Sometimes i don't tab at all and only use a black pen. Once i annotated a book only in blue because the cover was blue!
