Highlighters and Borrowed Books

I recently got a copy of White Noise from a friend

(Side note - this is a beautiful book, one of my new favorites)

And she had highlighted it, since it was for a class. Some of the highlights are plot points (characters, etc), but a lot of it are quotes that speak to her.

I almost feel voyeuristic reading this copy, since it is a window into her mind when she was reading the book.

Highlighted quotes tell a lot about a person, and where there mind was when they were reading. I know looking back at my old books, some of the things I highlighted I would highlight again, while some of them I no longer relate to as strongly.

Or I am overthinking all of this, and am simply getting distracted by the green on the pages.
