Poll: How do you mark your place in a book?

[Ruffythepirate]

Sometimes I use a bookmark and sometimes I just memorize what page I'm on.

 

[Savvz]

I remember the page number.

 

[shadyh8er]

I just can't get myself to dog-ear a book. I hold them in too high a regard. So I either use a bookmark, or remember the stuff on the page.

 

[Artina89]

I tend to use post it notes with the topic written on it, especially with my textbooks because if I need to look up a topic, it can take up a whole chapter. In those instances I mark the beginning and end of the chapter. I can't dog ear as it would be confusing if I had several dog ears in one book. When I read for pleasure, I tend to use stray bits of paper, often the receipt that I obtained when I first bought the book.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Usually a dog ear or I just try to remember which page I left off on.

Then again, I barely read anymore.

 

[Ham_authority95]

With urine, like any self-respecting territorial animal.

I lol'd hard.

i usually try to remember the page number. i tend to read chapter to chapter so try to remember the chapter number, too. all else fails, a paper clip does the job

 

[DeadFOAM]

I primarily use a bookmark, I hate dog-earing a page. If I don't have an actual bookmark, I tear off a scrap of paper and use that as a bookmark. Or if, for whatever reason, I can't use a bookmark, I will write down the page number on the inside of my wrist. I strongly dislike writing in novels. It makes me feel like I know something the author doesn't about their own story. I will mark in books on philosophy or textbooks, usually my own take on what is being said or questions that it raises.

 

[Redingold]

I remember it. It's not that hard. I used to fold the corners, but I stopped that bad habit years ago. I cringe now whenever someone does that to a poor, defenceless book.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Dog ear it.

 

[Stickill]

Often a dog-ear, but when I have a paper within my reach, I use that as a bookmark.

 

[linwolf]

A piece of paper as a bookmark is the best one.

 

[thylasos]

Bookmarks fall out. Pages turned over at the corner fall out... less often.

 

[Eumersian]

I have a virtually infinite mind, so I just remember what page or chapter I was on. Not really, of course. But if I am really interested in a particular book (if I'm reading on my own accord I must be interested) I usually just stop at a chapter or page with a break and remember where I was. It works most of the time.

 

[Joshroom]

For my sins I dog ear my books, even library books. I know, I know, its bad to fold the corners of books that aren't even mine but I don't have time to always be scrambling 'round for a bit of scrap paper.

 

[Harkonnen64]

I usually mark mine with a store receipt.

 

[Chronarch]

I generally dog ear pages. When I used to use bookmarks I would always lose them somehow.

 

[hurfdurp]

An actual bookmark, or I dog-ear the page.

 

[Something Amyss]

Bookmark.

Or chewing gum.

How do you mark your place in a book (the old-fashioned ink and paper kind)? Do you use a bookmark or do you dog-ear the page or use something else
