Fuck you, hardcovers are inmune to "god tier" and some of them are too heavy for "high tier". I'll stick with the double hander.

Books I don't give a shit about, then yes, ballin' out of control.

"Low Tier" is perfectly normal for any book; "High Tier", besides being impractical and stressing on the wrist when you read anything longer than a few hundred pages, is only appropriate during readings of Shakespeare (even then it's annoying), at all other times it is pretentious; "God Tier" is for paperback books only--which is to the exclusion of hardcover books--and therefore isn't applicable at all to any so-called "tier" system...also, it fucking ruins books.

As guilty as I feel ruining a book with god tier, sometimes I just cannot resist how sexy it makes me feel. I did it with The Picture of Dorian Gray. So fucking cash

For hardcovers, I'm double hander, but hand not on the page I'm currently reading is holding the top.

Kindle is always BALLIN'.

Ereaders laugh at your tiers. Except for the 1st gen kindle which is fucking hard to hold one handed without doing an accidental page flip. I own it and an (older) sony ebook. I prefer the older sony about 9000x because it lacks this "feature".

I switch it up. One hand on the side, only touching to turn the page, both hands, etc

Since I don't buy hardcovers, I'm a high tier but a little bit of low tier. Also, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT GOD TIER!? I would never do that!
