      The Iliad is full of badasses, but Diomedes might be the baddest of all of them. Here he gets an arrow through the foot, and his first response is to insult the guy who shot him:pic.twitter.com/JjL0x0zPv5

      I don't usually write in my books, but I'm always tempted to take out my pen when I read one of these metaphors.

      I do typically mark these in the margins of my book, or highlight them in an ebook. I know some people will transfer their notes to, say, Evernote, but I’ve never tried that.

      Pourquoi pas les deux? A book of commonplaces for the quotations and a big pointing hand in the margin, mediæval-style.

      Contrarian take: better to read Seneca or w/e without underlining/notes, and then go to an online source of quotations and copy-paste saves time and in many of these authors once you start underlining bons mots you never stop

      Sometimes I think I'd like to have two copies of every book. One to keep pure, and another to fill with notes, arrows, and lines. But this is not a reasonable approach.

          Alas, my funds are limited, and many a good book costs more than it could.

          true true but Oxford classics are 10-15, if choices are (a) not marking up as noob (b) reading noob scribbles for rest of life, then option c is pretty cheap
