Scribners, the forgotten art of scribbling notes and doodles in the margins of books. A lost form of expression that once filled the pages with personal thoughts and musings. In a digital age where everything is typed out on screens, there's something nostalgic about the act of scribbling in a book. It's a way to make a connection with the text, to leave your mark on it in some small way. They were often seen as disruptive or disrespectful, but for many they were a way to engage more deeply with the material at hand. They could be funny or profound, insightful or nonsensical. They were like little windows into someone else's mind, offering glimpses into their thoughts and emotions. In an age where everything is disposable and easily replaceable, perhaps we should embrace the tradition of scribning once again. Let's bring back this lost art form and breathe new life into our reading experiences. Who knows what hidden gems we might uncover in those scribbled notes?
