There is not a whole lot of room to write in the margins in most books. Your 
writing style must be very small and neat!  But I have done something similar 
when certain words and phrases impressed me.  I kept a separate journal with 
notes for each particular book. Then, I'd revisit my notes and try to use those 
words and phrases in regular conversation to either impress or freak people 
out.

The first book I started doing that with was "Dracula - Bram Stoker", many many 
years ago!  I thought the language in there was amazing, and fun to trip-up 
other people with.
