I finally admit the $25 annotated copy of Frankenstein beat my free ebook
I fought my book club for 7 meetings straight about how paying for books was a waste when the library app is free. Then a friend handed me a used Norton edition of Frankenstein with margin notes from some college kid in Iowa, and I read those scribbles more than the actual story. Cost me $25 at a shop in Portland, and the notes about the creature's voice gave us a whole new argument at our next meeting. So what's the one book where the physical copy actually changed how you read it?
