I checked out Francois Furet’s book (yesterday’s post) from our nationally recognized Hennepin County Library. It’s a great service to have unusual, high quality books locally available.
I was startled to find the pages profusely underlined in black ink. Throughout the whole book. And every time Furet explains a downfall of the communist system there is a sidebar note: No!
Does the defacer of a publicly owned book not see the irony in treating the volume as their own? That the blatant disregard for the fine-tuned implications of ownership is where precisely where the communist project gets ripped to shreds?
