There are only two kinds of books that are truly loved - those pristine and undamaged, and those which look like they've been through the apocalypse
I'm consistently in the middle of many, many books. I use dollar bills so I get a reward for actually finishing.
I'm not sure who would stop reading in the middle of a page/paragraph (neutral good), but if I were to do that, I'd have re-read the whole page.
I do this. Sometimes I read in really short bursts, like for the length of an elevator ride. I don't mark it though, I just remember where I left off. I do this so much it's become easy to just get right back into the story even mid paragraph.
Ebooks for my dyslexia, when you're so chaotic you circle back around to lawful.
I'm true neutral if I have a bookmark. I'm chaotic evil if I don't.
But what alignment are you if you use those colored tabs to bookmark several things at once? Those are what I've used most often because that's for work shit... Like research and what not. I don't need to keep my place, I need to know what I might be referencing a lot.
I have done it all except leaving it face down
I used an eraser to keep track of it, had a bookmark that I used, and I actually used a pencil to keep track of where the sentence was, and don't even ask me about Adam Smith's wealth of nations where I quite literally did math on the pages with the charts and scribbled page numbers to keep track of shit
Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file
I use the dust jacket flap.
I’d love to do this clearly easier method except that dust jackets are the devil. One, they ALWAYS get ruined, ALWAYS. Two, they’re weirdly loud if you read in bed & your partner is trying to sleep. Three they sure don’t keep dust off if you store books on a shelf standing up
Okay, and where is throwing the book aside and remembering the page, and when you inevitably forget where you were, just starting from the last place you vaguely remember?
"Previously on... Or wait, does this sound familiar? Did we jump forward instead?"
And then there is Billy Boyd's method, which is so evil it is off the chart.
Oh please detail, I feel like I'm missing something. What does the mighty fool-of-a-Took man do to books!?
I can't find the exact episode anymore (there is no short of it and I don't have the time rn to go through every one once again), but in the Friendship Onion podcast, he told us the following:
Earlier in his life he was working in a book printing factory. And apparently he was allowed to keep books (not sure if that was only when there were cosmetic defects etc). Anyway, he read these books but instead of using a bookmark, he just tore out the pages so that when opening the book, the current page would always be the first one.
Truly a fool of a took 🥲, but I still love him 😂
(If anyone knows which episode that was, please share.)
Oh fuck no
Chaotic good gang checking in.
My library gives out paper due-date receipts, so its was meant to be.
Yoooooo
Let’s gooooo!!
Hmm, what's this? Any reasonably flat object? It will make a fine bookmark!
Chaotic evil mwah ha haaaaaa
Chaotic Good +, I usually end up making a bookmark at my desk by folding and taping paper or a post-it
I guess I'm chaotic good when I'm not just listening to audiobooks, but I like to find a Magic card that fits the general vibe of the book.
For example, I chose Lost in a Labyrinth for House of Leaves
I use old Christmas cards:-)🎄
Small post-it notes
That way when I get distracted by another book, I can leave the mark right there. Considering I'm always "in the middle of" at least five books, this is the best solution I've found.
I use old Zimbabwean money.
Right now I actually use my eBook as a boommark for my paper book. What category is that?
Chaotic good and neutral evil. Don't do neutral evil
This is delightful, thank you for sharing.
Over my life I've gone from neutral evil to chaotic evil to chaotic good and now am lawful neutral
I'm neutral evil
