lawful evil
you have a memory, use it or it will rot

>>18982266
book face down is way more chaotic than dog-ear

I don't, I just open the book at a random page every time.

«SPEAK, MEMORY», AND THE PAGENUMBER IS RECALLED TO ME.

about 4 years ago I folded a piece of paper into a bookmark and have used it ever since

Chart makes no sense. Here's how it should be.
Good-Evil is how much it damages the book, Law-Chaos is how much it requires material outside the book.

>>18982274
What if I read more than one book at a time/have a <insert authors name> complete works book?

>>18982338
I was going to question your distinction between lawful evil and neutral evil, but I guess neutral evil requires a surface. Nice chart.

Just rip pages out as you read them

A mix of the three evils for me

>>18982390
I do this with library books. -3/12 can recommend

>>18982266
leaving the book face up

>>18982266
Post on instagram: "finished up to page [--] today! Such a good book!" When I'm ready to read again, I just check my instagram.

Only works for 800+ page paperbacks with soft spines.

Was reading while at lunch and couldn't find my bookmark so I took a sugar packet to mark my page. That was 2 or 3 years ago and I'm still using the same sugar packet.

Well yes I dog ear my library books, how did you know?

>>18982266
Lawful Evil here. It's the best system.

>>18982266
I just remember what chapter I'm in and the rest takes care of itself in no more than thirty seconds of skimming

I dont touch a book again after stopping to read

>>18982453
>800+ page paperbacks with soft spines
works with most hardbacks just fine

>>18982266
swap lawful evil and lawful neutral

>>18982764
>>18982266
CG and CN should also be swapped

lawful evil reporting in

giordano bruno did not die in vain

>neutral good
do people really just quit reading in the middle of a chapter or paragraph?
i've had to do it sometimes when the chapter is very long, but i'm very reluctant to do so. very odd

>>18982266
Bookmarks? I always finish in one sitting.

>>18982266
I have a cool Degas bookmark... but when I'm not at home you know I'm going chaotic evil 100%

>>18982773

>>18983241
it became 2nd nature, just trying to help my litbros

>>18982266
Chaotic good and neutral evil, I'm a poor piece of shit who can't afford a real bookmark

>>18982266
I just remember.

>>18983254
ya thanks it's a cool system. i was legitimately curious, didn't mean for it to come off as hostile

>>18982783
I am very tired right now and my brain doesn't work. I don't get it. Could you explain?

>>18982366
That's exactly it.

>>18982783
>on page 12
>use mnemonic
>one is 't'
>two is 'n'
>combined makes 'tin'
>remember i'm on page 'tin'

>>18983268
>real bookmark
They are a scam, don't fall for that

>>18983441
Ah, very interesting. Is this related to the "memory castle" or something?

>>18982274
Einstein disagrees with you

>>18983603
The joke is that 'tin' is a homophone to 'ten'

>>18982266
if you do dog ear you are a threat to society and must be exterminated

not reading all works in one sitting

>>18982338
Wow you fixed this so hard man good going GREAT WORK KEPP it up !!!

I use a magnetic bookmark that points to the sentence, get with the times gramps the world is moving fast

>>18982266
Lawful Evil it is, although nowadays with digital books it automatically continues where I left off. I don't remember EVER using any bookmarks which could be because I always read just one book at any point in time.

Chaotic good.
I use dollar bills.

>>18982266
I leave the file open. If the computer crashes I start from the beginning.

>>18985097
I usually re-read from the beginning of the chapter if I was too exhausted to continue the day before. I normally read up to the new chapter.

>>18982266
lawful evil.

>>18983441
I would just remember 12 lmao

>>18982266
memorize the chapter number and then look for familiar text

>>18982266
I never had this problem as a youngster as I was reading books in one go (or something) and I don't have this problem now as an ebook reader keeps track of the dozens of books I started to read.

>>18982390
utterly based
you need to eat the pages too so you can gain their power and become a better writer

I do it doggystyle.

>>18982266
I have used all of these except neutral good i dont feel the need to buy gizmos like that

>>18982266
all three neutrals and lawful evil

>>18982390
based. this is the real chaotic evil option

>>18983347
what's not to get? you associate the number with the consonant given.

>>18985094
touch grass

>>18982336
Same

>>18982338
i think it's more about the implied person who would use the kind of bookmark, e.g. just memorizing the page number gives off a psychopathic vibe

>>18982266

Just rip out the pages you've read.

>>18986044
"Touch grass." I wish everyone who uses that fucking phrase just died. Fuck you. Worthless pieces of shit. You can't contribute to the discussion, so you turn to this faggy, passive-aggressive shit. And instead of doing some actually creative trolling, you repeat the most overused and normiefied phrase on the internet right now. You literally cannot come up with your own comebacks. Shove the grass up your arse, faggot.

>>18986306
seethe harder

>>18982338
A book ribbon is a part of the book

>>18982266
Chaotic evil: tear out pages you've read

>>18982321
Ok pseud, even if you remember the page number you still have to go through the trouble of flipping through a bunch of pages to get to it instead of just opening it

>>18982338
based autist

>>18982266

>>18987222 (checked)

>>18986495
Which is why it's lawful

>>18982355
Genuine question, why would you want to read more than one book at once?

>>18982266
Chaotic good, instead of receipt I use playing cards

>>18987732
Non-fiction in the morning
Fiction novel to kill time
Bible before bed

>>18982266
>close the book and flip until I see something familiar to when I last left off

>>18982266
I usually choose true neutral or chaotic good but ideally I would just read an entire chapter or section and just remember what chapter/section of the book I'm at. So rather than remembering the page number I would remember the chapter number.

>>18986310
Faggot harder you fucktard ass man grass touching insinuator

Dangerously based

>>18984388
Not unless you have a retarded accent

>>18982266
>Use ribbon if it's bound with the book
>Use a bookmark if it was complementary and came the shipment of the book, unless it's one of the those cringe bookdepository ones
>Otherwise I just memorize the page number, or end my reading session by finishing the chapter to make it easier to memorize where I am in the book

>>18982266
Neatly folded tissue

>>18982266
I use a playing card related to the novel im reading or just randoming picked from a deck. I guess thats somewhere between chaotic good and true neutral however.

>>18982390
I used to rip out chapters from books at my high school library and take them home instead of borrowing them

I'm currently using a piece of cardboard I tore off a pack of gum that was sitting on my bedside table

I use paper boats, either that or I remember the page number

>>18986554
Doesn’t it slip out?

>>18982266
chaotic evil

I also write and underline in all my books, especially library books. (I would never dog ear or write in a book loaned to me by a friend.)
