So /lit/, why aren't you using a paperclip and a bookmark?

Because I finish my books in one session, like every true /lit/ patrician does.

Because I use scraps of paper I find lying around my room.

When you turn seven, you can move on to Hardy Boys. Dr. Seuss is for those Montessori brats.

Because I just dog ear the book.

Oh and also I WRITE IN IT and sometimes TEAR APART SOME PAGES

>>7688788
But how will people know what I'm reading? How am I supposed to posture when all my books are in a device as opposed to in a bookcase?

>>7688805
What do you have to write about that's so long?

>>7688788
but if they’re all on my shitty secondhand kindle i won’t be able to fall into ecstasy over the choice of paper

>>7688857
The book here is aristotelian metaphysics so a shitton of commentaries and explanations and sometimes greek words but usually I write much less, of course

>>7688144
Sticky notes and highlighters.

>>7688144
I memorize the number of the last page that I read.

It isn't that hard. Pages have numbers.

I like that bookdepository provides bookmarks with each book, although they have shit art on them.

I write in almost every book I read.
Especially for school, I write a shit ton for close reading.

>>7688144
I always lose my bookmark after just a few books, so I've pretty much given them up. I just remember where I stopped reading...

>>7688144
Why using a bookmark at all? Can't you simply remember the page/chapter?

>>7688144
i use bookmarks, i like the way they look

>>7689255

This.

I'm drowning in bookmarks because of it.

I place this on my desk in front of me at uni with the text facing outwards and whenever someone comes up and asks me anything I just tap my finger on the bookmark and bury my nose deeper in my book.
