I like that image.
Anon is right, truly the most important tool to and scholar.
I remember it being that a notebook was the last thing I willfully stole. I was at Targét with my then girlfriend doing some shopping. I was still 17 then, she was 24, and jived pretty well together. As we were looking at /literary supplies for myself, I noticed little black notebooks that I just adored. All black, no markings, and an elastic band to keep it closed. There was a paper pocket in the back, with a little sticker inside. I wanted that book.
I had no cash on me, and for some reason felt ashamed to ask her to just buy it for me so I could pay her back, so I hatched a plan to just kinck it for free. I'm no clepto, don't get me wrong, but the thought of just taking this one notebook, could it do any harm? I slipped in my pocket, and walked back to her, we checked out as normal and went back to her car. When we were all settled in, I pulled out my prize, and a look of pure horror filled my girl's eyes.
"Anon! She implored "How could you do this to me! We were together if we got caught it would be both you AND me"
"I.. uh.."
"I really can't believe you, why couldn't you just ask. Ugh, This sickens me. Go take it back in and return it or pay but really I don't want to see you end up this way."
"Look, I'm sorry, I just really wanted it, okay? Its black and has no markings, its perfect in every way I could imagine. I love the band and look in its pocket, there's a little sticker here."
She looked with a frown, then right in my eyes she asked: "What will you write?"
"Give me a pen, I'll show you real quick."
...
"Roses were red, violets could be blue. Your Anon is very sorry, it hurts more to hurt you each day that I know you. Please find it in your heart to forgive me Booboo"
She read it out loud and burst out in tears.
Laughing hysterically "Really --- I love you."
We went and got lunch right after that fact and while waiting for food I had her practice her penmanship.
"The quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog." "See, every letter! I told you it's true."
and after a minute she spoke with such gusto:
"You know anon, you really don't need "Red"
"Yes, I've noticed before, but it would lose something too, I think."

A piece of paper. When I start reading a page, I place it at the top. Then as I read I gradually drag the paper down to cover the lines I've read.

My old literature teacher made us use it for a few reading exercises but I've kept using it ever since. Recently I met a literature professor and he told me he did it too, so now I don't feel so weird about it.

Mainly to avoid accidentally rereading lines above and losing concentration/focus. Especially if I'm reading something like Infinite Jest with many lines per page, I find that it can sometimes be difficult to keep myself focused if I don't use the paper.
