>western civilization
Which one

People who do this are absolute cretins. Underlining does nothing except fill you with the illusion that you have read and understood a section.

Don't bother, just read a synopsis online. I real 1000+ page books all the time, but this one is only 500 and it's been an absolute slog. I'm on Book 22 and I'm just struggling to finish, wish I had dropped it 10 books ago when I came across the first red flag in a little passage about ships.

Exactly why I buy books

buy your own books instead of buying smartphones, dumb poorfag.

No lie I will probably buy one of those new Pixel XL phones with OLED screens and read from there, downloading my books from libgen

Annotations and look up is pretty too

Buy your own shit

>assumes it was a woman
Have sex

How do you know the commentator was female?

Have kids, emcel

>assumes I'm a woman
Have sex

The underlining and commentary was done by a man. Not surprise you didn't recognize.

Greece. It's the Illiad.

but who gives?
shut the fu^k up and read the motherfu^king book
I swear you whinny stupid little shits don't deserve books and libraries

Who else would underline half of every page and make childish notes like "this is the sons name"?

>fu^k
Go back. Quick, close the tab before someone in your class sees you looking at NIGGERS FUCK NIGGERS KILL NIGGERS.

Why do they put this book twelve book fourteen blah blah thing it:s not official
>but but but
I dont care faggot it's not official

I bought a used copy of Things Fall Apart.

I pulled HUNDREDS of small Post-Its out of it. More Post-Its than pages.

The Iliad is not a commodity. It's our common cultural heritage. If we decided to separate the way it is, it's none of your business.
It's not "official", because there is no authority besides that of tradition.

>bought a used copy of a book from amazon
>it came with a torn out magazine article about the book folded inside
it was nice

>underlines most of the page
For what purpose?

that's what you get for reading a translation
