Hi, Filby!

I went to a Quaker school, and we all had to take a class in Religious 
Thought. I didn't think anything of writing in my Bible, either, until I saw 
my teacher shudder. But I have to say, if I want to go back and read 
something again, there are my notes and annotations right there, which makes 
it much easier for me. 

Having said that, I DO keep my Bibles on the top shelf in my room, which I 
know will surprise Jay. (Smooch, baby.)

Hmm. I am reminded, however, that breaking a spine or otherwise damaging ANY 
book of mine is something that'll get you banished from my library for life.
