Why does Adler consider marking up a book indispensable to reading?

• Teachers have used it enough to identify how beneficial it is to readers.
• Reading, if awake, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itseld in words, spoken or written.
• Letting your eyes glide across the page is not idealistic because it deprives the reader of understanding and comprehension.
• It is necessary.
