One thing I did during my reading of The Martian was get over my fear of writing on books. The conversations people have with their books through marginalia has always fascinated me, and it’s a tradition I wanted to be part of, but my own anxious personality never really allowed for that. Too precious about the page, you know? Books are beautiful things! They should be preserved as perfect copies!
I don’t really know what was different this time around. This is the first non-comic book I’ve picked up after a pretty lengthy reading slump, so maybe I was just tired and stopped caring. Making sure your books stay like new is hard work, but nothing cures some anxieties like exhaustion.
So now I’m writing on my books like a mad man. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
Anyway.
After experimenting with a couple of pencils and markers, I remembered a Fisher Space Pen I bought ages ago but never really got into the habit of using it because it’s a ballpoint and I prefer fine points. Fine points are not very kind to book pages, though (look I may have stopped caring but I’m sure as hell not going to torture these poor things either) so I tried the space pen out and it works beautifully. The inks goes on very smoothly and there is no bleed-through at all. Nice.
It did, however, take me an embarrassingly long time to realize that I was writing on a book about space with an actual space pen, but the thought made me incredibly happy just the same.It’s the little things.
