How do you annotate your books? Do you use any sort of system

>writing in your book
Wtf

This is what I used in college:

Draw a small arrow in the margin pointing to an important passage

Then use the blank pages in the back/front of the book to make your own index with the page number and a short note.

Don't write in the book. Do what Barthes always did: write your notes on notecards. The text is sacred.

When using this method and wanting to annotate a specific phrase: do you quote it or do you mark it?
