When you can't resist highlighting the whole 5 pages of a book, you know there was such a great mind behind those texts.

Discussion
I have a strong aversion to highlighting and underlining in books. The author took the trouble to write the whole book, not just a few clever sentences surrounded by a whole lot of useless padding (your note confirms this). Furthermore, any highlighting by one person renders the book unreadable by anyone else. Highlighting is subjective.
How often have you referred back to a book that you've read with a highlighter?
I've read this in eBook format so it's helpful for me when revisiting the book every once in a while to find some references from it. I myself have never hilighted, drawn, or written anything on any page of physical books as I always pass them forward when I finish reading it.
