>How do you read books?

left to right, top to bottom. bound>paperback; ebooks are for subhumans. also relatively fast (not speedreading technics fast, just naturally got faster by doing it a lot; around 50, 60 pages per hour).
I read them naively, sometimes I use a pen to underline interesting, intriguing, relevant (to whatever) or quotable passages and write the page# and short description in the front for easy access. Non-Fiction I read slower, with more notes, while its quiet around me.

>Do you have any book quirks?
I have a book fetish. Sometimes I take a book out of my shelf, I let my thumb slide through the pages, listening to the sound, enjoying the haptic sensation, thinking about it. Looking at my shelf gives me frission. When finishing a book I also smell it, just look at it, caress it and sometimes even kiss it once or twice. Its really weird. Especially with good books ending, like Brothers Karamazov, I get the feeling like a good friend died when I finish it. The mentioned procedure helps me let go. I actually really get depressed sometimes after finishing books. I also get depressed when there is no book im *currently reading*
