Do you use bookmarks or fold the page over?

>> No.1037146

I can't dog-ear pages. It makes me ache on the inside. I just typically use old receipts/ticket stubs as bookmarks.

>> No.1037149

Fold like a motherfucker.

>> No.1037150

Get a Kindle, enjoy infinite bookmarks

>> No.1037153

I prefer using toilet paper and kleenex for a bookmark.

Toilet paper for my bathroom reading (Uncle John series) and kleenex for real reading. They're nice and easy, large and mark the page well, and can be misplaced without concern.

Bookmarks are for pussies. Real men remember whereabouts they were and flip around till they find where they left off.

>> No.1037156

I've never needed a bookmark; I usually remember the page.

>> No.1037171

Fuck I hate you dog earing people, so much.

Remember the page number

I'm sure that line works on the ladies.

>Bookmarks? Naw, I never use those. I do too many SQUATS 'N' OATS to really fuck with those.

>Oh my God! You're so manly and interesting. What a total badass.

Dogearing is horrible. Damaging books is horrible. I just use old scraps of school papers or sticky notes as bookmarks

>> No.1037181

I started this year remembering the page number, but I lost my progress several times on the first book so I stopped.

I started using zip ties and continued for months. They were great because if I lost one I had another hundred next to my bed.

This last week I started using the free bookmarks I got from an online retailer (Book Depository).

I would never fold the page over, I try to keep my books in the best quality possible because I borrow and lend books often.

I have a bookmark that I made out of a shirt my great grandfather gave me. It's my favorite bookmark,

I just look around my general area and use whatever.

A piece of paper from the printer? I tear a scrap off and use it. My graded midterm? I tear a scrap off and use it. Paper grocery bag? I tear a scrap off and use it.

>> No.1037309

I use a rubber band like a boss.

Wrap that fucker around the book at your page, monetary gain.

Also, you're welcome.

>> No.1037318

Delicious tits, OP.

And bookmarks all day, son. Fuck all that "remembering" shit and dogearers can seriously go die.

For real, why would you bend the page? I hate when books look fucked up -- dog ears are an example of a fuck up.

>> No.1037326

I can't dog ear pages, so I just use whatever scrap of paper I can find around me.

>> No.1037332

Receipt. Always use the receipt.

I'm a man, I never close a book unless I'm done reading it.

Read until the end of the chapter and remember what chapter I am on for next time.

>> No.1037362

I normally dog ear when it's the first read. If i'm rereading i use a bookmark b/c there may be a 3rd read and I don't really even notice evidence of dogears just from the 1st.

>>1037154

this, it really isn't hard to do. If you are paying enough attention while you read it should be very easy.
