Be careful, guys. If you’re looking to save a few buck when ordering a used book by a conservative author like Christina Hoff Sommers, you really never know what you’re going to get:
OH MY GOD I ORDERED @CHSommers' BOOK FROM AMAZON AND IT'S A USED ONE AND THERE'S ANGRY FEMINIST NOTES ALL OVER IT I AM HOWLING

Hilarious. Check out some of the notes from the previous author:

here's more: now i believe their goal was communicating with @CHSommers through a book somehow pic.twitter.com/DpPrZFZ7A6

A used book with this much foul language in the margins should come with a trigger warning, right? The highlights make us feel unsafe!
amazon told me this thing was "slightly used: good condition"
yeah right. it's soaked in rage tears.

And maybe the previous owner wanted to communicate with a future, conservative reader and knew exactly what she was doing:
the person who wrote on it is writing things like "not true, babes" part of me wants to believe she wrote these things for the next reader

@shoe0nhead That's exactly how it strikes me. She deliberately bought this to pass it on w/her 'commentary' attached.

debating someone through a book they will never see is the 1995 version of talking shit behind a block bot i guess

However, it looks like they gave up reading halfway through:
update; a vancouver library bookmark found halfway through the book. no notes are written after that.
diagnosis: rage quit

Yes, good idea.
