I think bookmarks are more for people who want to flip directly to the page instead of those who can't memorize 2 or 3 numbers.

Bookmarks, I'll make a bookmark if I don't have one. From pencils to gum wrappers to emptied ketchup packets wrapped in tape.

monsieur of the mundane quest and question: neither do i dog-ear nor bookmark. neither do i care for the choice of two. what makes you think, squire, that one must choose between these two things?

think, monsieur, let yourself think, for a moment or an hour, or as long as it happens you can, so as to let fall idiocy from its insufferable Reign over this pleasant little board.

it is simple knowledge, monsieur. i tear out the page i have last read, set it ablaze, and throw it at the last poster of your kind whose corpse hangs, tar'd and feather'd, in my living room. in the fires of his blazing corpse i memorise the number of the page where i may resume my mood'rous literary progress.

>Implying that I'm reading less than 10 books at any moment.
>Implying that that's the only use of bookmarks.
Seriously, I read plenty of books at a given time, and I also tend to put bookmarks at all the pages that have something important for the book, or sth that I find intriguing. An average book in my collection has 2-3 bookmarks in it all the time. Some go over 10. :)

>> No.3591013

Bookmark with the first thing that my hand can reach and gets the job done.

I dog ear pages that have some passage that I like, or if the bookmark is big enough and I have a pen, I write down the page on the bookmark.

This.

If I don't remember where I am, I go back to what I last remember reading and continue from there.
