What do you like to use for a bookmark?

Dunno about that user, but in Canada they carry tips on how to quit smoking and a list of hotlines you can call. Oh wait, that guy was talking about something different, I think they just put it in to give the papers more structural support or maybe make them easier to pack at the factory.

what are you 10?

Mah niggah.

A dude stole my ace of Spades out of my book once when I was reading in the pub, though. :(

I use the same laminated bookmark I got from the school library in highschool.

Finish em all in one sitting :^)

I Fold the corner of the page

I buy some popsicles that have star wars book marks on the side. I'm trying to collect all 8

I always use money to mark the page. Moreover, I pocket it back only when I finish reading the book, otherwise it stays in, even if borrowed.

Whenever I read, I make sure to start and stop on new chapters, so I dont need a book mark because I can remember the chapter nimber, also means I don't get caught in the middle of a passage which could lead to more reading than is necessary

Been using a 20 baht note leftover from when I went to Thailand.

I just remember the page.

If it's reading for research purposes I'll use sticky notes

don't use them

desu, they make you seem like a pleb. i don't want anyone's discussion of literature, specifically what I'm reading, to be affected by the knowledge of how far i am in the book.

also, since i don't take long breaks away from reading a novel it's a nice short term memory exercise to try and retrace where i left off from.

I usually just remember the page.

But if I'm feeling particularly forgetful that day, I'll stuff a piece of paper or something between the pages.

Only faggots dog-ear pages. I hope you all burn in hell.

funny man

Foreign money. Right now I have UAE dirham bookmarking my philosophy book and a Sri Lankan rupee bookmarking my book about the Enlightenment

I use a BBC.

Good conversation starter.

I don't know why I imagined you with black bangs and glasses even though you're probably a fat guy

Playing cards

yes

my diary desu

A loch of my ex-lover's brunette miff. The aroma gets me in a mood to read every time, though, with a blood-filled sausage in hand.

I use a clip

Emaciated model with 20/20 vision mate.

A ruler.

This is because I read to read.

Also because I love ugly functionalism.

I never understood the purpose of bookmarks. Even as a kid I never used them and teachers would admonish me. But when you read a book and you are forming the composition, structure, and story in your memory then stop, is it really that difficult to remember specific places in the composition and/or where you left off? Like even if days went by, or weeks, hell even months, how could you forget. The only times I used placeholders is when I make citations, and even that isn't really a placeholder, but it's close enough.

A piece of gum

I would do this but paper money is covered in grime from millions of greasy hands. I have some drachmas and some lira and they look like they've been through a war.

This why you never have sex

It's quicker to mark the page number than it is to skim the book looking for content I remember.

I fold papers or notes

If you really want to, you can still use the plastic banknotes sone countries make. They're easily washable.

Just wash them with soap and water.

This.

...

I like to use this one that my university's library was handing out as a freebie as part of a promo for some sort of social movements collection they were doing.

It's nice. It fulfills its intended purpose well.

I don't like people like you.

It's easy to remember where in the story you left off; it's impossible to remember where in the physical book you left off. And it takes time, searching for things. Why not use a bookmark?

I use baseball cards

Underrated and well played.

This is a nice one.

that wasn't funny at all but I respect you as a human being

The only alpha answer

Scraps of paper, usually torn from whatever is nearby.

This, mainly.

Or if I'm being a try-hard, i use the front of one of these boxes because the colours are nice.

I've never used a bookmark in my life. Part of the experience for me is flipping around for anything from a moment to several minutes trying to find where I left off. And occasionally accidentally re-reading a number of pages.

An old yugioh card.

I have a stack of old pokemon cards that I tend to use

sometimes I use receipts if I started reading somewhere where I don't have the cards handy

well it would be slow as heck to go through the book until I find the place

with a bookmark, I just open the book and continue

that said sometimes bookmarks are a bit unneeded... if the book is of the kind where I never stop reading except between chapters/books/etc, then it maight be easy enough to find without a bookmark

Rizla, old receipts, whatever. Currently I have a business card for a tattoo parlour.

A love letter

I have like 40 bookmarks from bookdepository, so one of them.

you're a total pseud

How so matey?

MTG cards.

I get paper bookmarks here and there, and while I'm reading the book I slowly chew at them. By the time I finished Anna Karenina, I'd eaten the bookmark.

This. I can't stand leaving mid-chapter or section.

what do you do when a book doesn't have chapters that work out for this? if they're really fucking long or there just aren't any chapters

pokemon cards

A one dollar note that an old classmate gave me as a little gift from when he went to America with his dad.

I dogear the pages

Bite me faggot

I take a poop and then wipe my butt with my finger and then smear the poop stain on the page i want to mark

If I get a book from the library I use the little receipt they give you with the due date. If it's from a used bookstore I open up and flip through books until I find whatever a previous owner was using as a bookmark. They're usually very easy to find.

My grandmother's Miff that I tied into a knot.

When I was in highschool I my autism made me make a bookmark with two flaps to fold around the top and bottom of the page with a sliding bit of paper to mark the exact line and word where I stopped.

Now I just use whatever piece of scrap paper is nearby. Using playing cards is a nice idea, I have a lot of decks lying around that are too damaged for playing or missing a card or two.

If it's one of my books I use a business card.

If it's a library book I just fold down the corner of the top of the page.
