The habit of ____ (1) is one of the ____ (2) resources of mankind and
we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more ____ (3) if they are
borrowed. A borrowed book is like a ____ (4) in the house; it must be treated
with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that
it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under ____ (5) roof. You cannot
leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot ____ (6) the pages, mark
it, you cannot use it familiarly and then some day though it is ____ (7) done,
you ought to return it. But your books belong to you; you treat them with that
affectionate ____ (8) that annihilates formality. Books are for use not for
____ (9). You should own no book that you are afraid to mark up, or afraid to
place on the table, wide open and ace down. A good reason for marking favourite
passages in books is that this practice ____ (10) you to remember more easily
the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly, and then in later years, it
is like visiting a forest where you once blazed a trial.
