I’m currently reading Extremophile by Ian Green and while I’m loving almost everything about the book I keep wanting to take a pen and add in some goddamn quotation marks for the dialogue.
I’ll definitely be reading it again, and was wondering if anyone here has done anything similar? I feel like it would increase my enjoyment reading the book, but it’s also pretty tedious to do that for 300 pages lol

As a neurospicy individual, I agree with you 1000%
I would have returned the book or something.
In that case, you’d better steer clear of anything written by László Krasznahorkai.
I have not, but I have definitely switched from paper to audio if a particular format isn’t working for me – *Prophet Song* by Paul Lynch was one I couldn’t do in print for exactly this reason, and I dropped the audio of Stephen Markley’s *The Deluge* because the full-cast constant POV switching without context was *rough* to track on audio. Sounds like this is one on my TBR that I’ll want to avoid the print version of too, so thanks for the tip!
I read a lot of things that lake quotation marks… And I find I don’t even notice at this point really.
Annotations though are for elevating a text and increasing your enjoyment. If adding in quotations or highlighting the dialogue in some way would add to the re-read experience then go for it. That is the beauty of owning books!
