Personal magazines, textbooks and cookbooks are allowed to be dogeared. Novels, library books, and other books not belonging to me are not.
That being said, I've dogeared one or two pages in my entire life and they were from a cookbook.
Yes! No book marks for me.
No! Book marks EVERYWHERE.

You're all doing it wrong. You've got less of a case of dog-earing your textbooks than you do for books that are for pleasure reading. Textbooks can be sold back, the more unused they are, the better. But of course, I'll probably slap you if you damage my books. I couldn't care less if you disrespected your own monetary investment. That's your own damn problem.
Is it that hard to shell out all of nineteen cents for a perfectly good pack of sticky tabs or scrap paper?
Well, I shouldn't be too harsh. I used to fold the pages in my day planner so that I could know which week I was on.
For this reason alone I'm going to start dog-earing every book I see. And it'll be a Great Dane sized dog ear.Originally Posted by fire_of_avalon
The only time I ever dog-eared was for college class books where I'd have to write something afterward (say, a review or analysis for the argument), which was a fairly common requirement for a lot of my history classes.
I mark the hell out of my law school casebooks, but only with highlighters and pens.
I don't dog-ear my personal reading, more for the reason that I just don't see the point than to try to avoid damaging them.
of course I dog-ear my pages. it's a smurfing piece of paper.
I normally use a torn piece of paper as a bookmark, and I've only ever dog-eared a planner that I used as a ten-year-old boy.
Recently I made a set of bookmarks for Jesswee and myself that are all green lasery in the background and have a picture of Godot from Ace Attourny. In the foreground it says "I'MMA GET'CHU WIF MAH LASERS."
They're on card stalk and laminated, so one can actually use them.
:</>D
Textbooks go into my personal library. The only ones that get sold back are the worthless ones (Chem, Handbook of Style, How to be a Successful Student [if I thought anyone would buy it, at least])
I prefer using my Godot-y book mark to folding pages!
I do it all the time, even when I just read 2 pages. It's my damn book, I paid for it. If you've got a problem with it, then don't borrow it, and buy your own!
I used to use bookmarks all the time until I stopped reading books. Now I don’t have the burden of creasing paper anymore.

I've never even felt the need to dog-ear a book! Either way I probably wouldn't do it even if I really needed that page, I'd just find stiff to stick in there. In all kinds of books.
I find it more effective to just stick something random into the page I'm currently at, like an envelope, a receipt or a note of some sort. or if it's an exciting book... I turn it upside down.
I've done it on occasion to textbooks, but not very often. I would never do it to one of my own books.
I have a few bookmarks that I can use for the various books I read at a time.
I've never dog-eared once. I have fancy bookmarks! :P
I actually used to make my own bookmarks.
1) Print something in dimensions you like
2) Cut it out
3) Apply packing tape (broad clear) to both sides
4) Cut the tape so that it's close to the paper, but still sealed so your bookmark is waterproof
