Do you dog ear or do you bookmark, /lit/?

Book mark master race reporting in

I use a green index card as my mine.

I remember the page number I was on because I'm not retarded

>>8836465
I unashamedly dog-ear. Mind you, I also piss to mark my territory. Read of that what you will.

>>8836470
remembering trivial things is the surest sign of aptitude, folks

I just leave my highlighter sitting on the page I'm on and close the book.

>>8836479
being able to remember a number is one of the surer signs of not being literally brain-damaged, though

I dog-ear pages I consider important/really enjoy, so that when I reread the book I'll pay extra attention to those passages

>>8836489
now THAT'S what i call pseud

>>8836491
why?

>>8836489
I do this too.

It's called donkey-ear, 'murica. You should know that, since you're living next to fucking Mexico

Bookmark master race here tho'.

Book mark of course, I'm no fucking degenerate!

7/10. You need more. I have no pic at the moment but I have around 100 bookdepository bookmarks.

>>8836465
Neither, it only takes a few seconds to find where you left off anyway.

>>8836570
haha

>>8836465
I tend to just underline a book as I go along, so if I have to stop in the middle of a page I know where to start again next time I pick it up

I'm 29. Not even working. Yet I can't finish book like Dubliners in one settling.

>>8836465
Seriously, what kind of troglodyte does this?

>>8836945
I came to scream at the dog-earing bastards, but hadn't even imagined a horror such as this.

>>8836465
How le fuck would you find again that dog ear???

>>8836465
I "dog ear" pages with quotes I like, and use a bookmark.

I'm usually against murder, but...

Anyways, back on topic. Bookmark and if a bookmark cannot be found, the nearest loose piece of paper that can fit within acceptable parameters of overhanging the pages will do.

Cool bait 10/10

Can't stand folds so I usually just tear a small part off the top right hand corner of whatever page I'm up to.

>>8836592
You know their ears aren't naturally like that, eh?

>>8837250
me

>>8836465
How do you actually read your books, /lit/?

I like to fold over the whole left hand side as far as it can go so I'm only focused on the right hand side of the book.

I dogear as well because it gives the book character.

I don't bookmark, I don't even remember. I just figure it out I guess. Maybe 158, no I remember this. This too. Mmm. This is well said. And end up at 167.

Yeah okay, they're "robot ears". Moron.

>>8837425
Do you dogear every page?

I find it optimal to do it every 3rd page as it gives the best texture.

Take a look at this nice crisp clean virgin page. Who knows, if I've got the time tonight, I might settle down in my reading chair, grab my nearest pen and start *reading* and it might not be quite so crisp and clean afterwards.

And just for you anon, I'm gonna make sure it's a permanent marker

I dog ear borrowed books, and if it's a heavy piece full of important, meaningful quotes like the Catcher in the Rye, I underline them and scribble stuff next to it. Especially poetry.

>>8837559
I don't like you
