I still can’t bring myself to write in books for some reason
A lot of us have been taught that it's defacing (which it is if it's a library book or a friends' book), but really it's an act of love. There's no surer sign that someone has spent a lot of time with a book than to see it well worn and marked up.
I used to take notes before marking it books. I still do a bit, but the proble is that the notes are lifted out of the context of the book. Not so if you write in it :)
