Does /lit/ scribble and underline in their books?
I don't see why people treat it like a mortal sin. It's a great way to remind yourself of great quotes, and it always makes for an interesting re-read. Bonus if it's a second hand bought book and you get to read someone elses scribbles - it's so intimate.
i do it but only ever in pencil. god forbid i lay ink onto a work that isnt mine
I use sticky notes as to not deface the book.

I just use post it notes.
I don't because I tend to read, as much as possible, without pausing. Usually I'll go back at the end of the chapter and make notes about the important bits, but at that point it's better to just keep a journal instead of making lines in the book.

I like seeing underlines and highlights from other people, but only if I paid almost nothing for the book or plan on adding my own notes. I was reading a history book once in which a scientist from the 17th century was mentioned, and in wobbly writing (from what I think must have been an elderly person) someone had written "That is my great great great (etc) grandfather!" and they wrote a tiny little blurb about the last name. It was pretty cute.
