MARGINALIA

"In getting my books, I have always been solicitous of an ample margin; this not so much through any love of the thing in itself, however agreeable, as for the facility it affords me of penciling suggested thoughts, agreements and differences of opinion, or brief critical comments in general."

-- Edgar Allen Poe, "Marginalia"

This is my ample (perhaps infinite) margin. Full, half, and unfinished thoughts from reading.
