Bookmark of Choice: I find that if the book is new all you have to do is close the book. When you open it again, the largest space between the pages will be where you were last reading. Or close enough to. Otherwise I earmark.

Music:
>in general, good books are designed to evoke sensory responses from everywhere in your body. making yourself distracted by something else is like listening to an ipod in the middle of a movie. i don't disagree with media integration, but for me it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
