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

[Broken Orange]

I use whatever I can. If I have a dollar bill on me, that will be my bookmark. Piece of trash? Book mark. A dog's ear? Poetic justice.

 

[Airsoftslayer93]

im evil, i fold the corner, i suppose thats dog-earing

 

[Lekonua]

Usually bookmarks.

If one is unavailable, I just try to remember the general page range. "Okay, I remember that happening...the character said that...ah! Here I was."

I don't like folding pages in books.

 

[Baldry]

I usually rip a piece of paper from whatever I can find and use that as a bookmark.

What the hell are dog-ears?

Bending the corner of a page. Only heretics do that.

Yeah thanks but I sought of figured that out a while back, still gonna call 'em flippy-flaps!

Hotel room key. I have a bit of an obsession with walking out of any hotel I've stayed at with the electronic key. I have upwards of 200 of them...drives the wife batty.

 

[Johnny Reb]

i usually just remember the page i left off on but i use a pencil to draw a line under the last word i had read. but when i start reading again i just erase the pencil mark.

 

[Rofl-Mayo]

I usually bookmark or put a piece of paper in between the pages, but if I'm lacking both I'll just dog-ear it.

 

[Sjakie]

Ereader here.

Bookmarks are for poor people who cant afford one

 

[Jedoro]

Whatever's in my wallet, that doesn't need to be, becomes a bookmark sooner or later.

 

[Berserker119]

Yeah, I do everything. Usually when I use a bookmark, it gets wrecked, because I play with it while reading, but yeah.

 

[CJMacM]

I usually use something that's near me as a bookmark. Sometimes if I can't find something, I try to remember the page number, dog-earing the page bothers me a lot, unless the book is already batter to hell.

 

[Fridge]

Usually my really old leather bookmark, can't stand dog-earing. Otherwise I use an old train ticket or a buisness card that I picked up.

 

[GundamSentinel]

I'm the kind of person who can go into a rage about a damaged book. Bookmarks for me, thanks. As thin as possible.

I also get upset about damaged books, and find myself physically incapable of throwing them away if I need more space. As a result, the local Oxfam is full of books I've read and disliked/grown out of.

Aye, there's a special place in hell reserved for people who actually throw away good books. I've had my bookcase collapse under the load two times now, but I won't throw anything away.

Random piece of paper used as a bookmark.

pretty much, I never buy bookmarks because I just remember what page I was on, but when I really can't be bothered with it, I just find a random piece of something and stick it in the pages

 

[ARatherHandsomeGent]

Oh, little random note, my favourite thing about buying used books is finding the other persons bookmark inside.

 

[nairb1582]

A one hundred dollar bill.

I use a twenty if I have to take the book outside the house.
(I'm actually pretty poor, but can still afford class!)

 

[Stoplesteimer]

I will generally dog ear, but if it is a hardcover book I will use one of the dustcover flaps as a bookmark.

 

[Tomster595]

I usually just remember where I left off. Otherwise I just rip a piece of paper and use that as a bookmark.

 

[Moonmover]

I used to use "bookmarks" (by which I mean any sufficiently thin thing that was lying around; actual bookmarks are a waste of money and paper), but I stopped and started memorizing where I leave off instead. I figure that's better for my brain.
