Suppose I have the following method:

public void addBook() {
    getBookFacade().addBook(getCode(), getBookSale());
}

Suppose that I feel necessary to write some log statements:

public void addBook() {
    if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
        log.debug("Adding book with code=[" + getCode() + "] to bookSale=[" +  
                getBookSale() + "]...");
    }

    getBookFacade().addBook(getCode(), getBookSale());

    if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
        log.debug("Book added, bookSale=[" + getBookSale() + "].");
    }
}

The code gets very polluted, and even this is not the best to way to be logging
this information (aspects and etc could do better), is the one I know, and I
think it is still the most popular way. If the statements concerning logs were
shown in a lighter color, maybe gray (custom color...), the actual code, that is
in black, should be more readable.
