Bookmarks

[Agent Proto]

What kind of bookmark do you use when you read? Pictures are optional.

Here's what I have.


It's awesome.

I usually either just put the book face down on the pages I last had it open or use something random I can grab that works as a bookmark.

my bookmarks are usually random pieces of paper or pencils or things of that nature. my most recent bookmarks were plane boarding passes because i was reading on the plane

[Balzac]

This one is used in Day Watch that I am re-reading. Its a metal Celtic banding one that hooks over the top of the page.
Bookmark One

And this one is one my friend designed, its an isometric level for a game, this is actually one of his business cards. I use this one in the book about serial killers I'm reading.
Bookmark Two

Receipts and flyers.

How come people know I love books and read and take them anywhere and they refuse to give me a bookmark as a gift? I find this a wilful disregard of my needs.

I've got a couple of nice ones. They're hiding in books I put down and forgot to pick up xD Sometimes I end up just smashing a book in one sitting though.

You sad bloody peasants and your paper books that have pages. My Nook is its own bookmark.

Even back in the days of yore when I read actual books, I would often be too lazy to find something to be a bookmark, and would just remember the page number. And by "remember" I mean "glance at the page number for a fraction of a second and then forget it immediately thereafter," and so I would flip through some pages before getting back to my spot.

I usually just use the receipt from when I bought the book. That's if I'm not reading the ebook version.

Of course lately I've been bringing so many strips home (to the extent that I am running out of places to put them) that I rarely buy books anymore, but since I buy orange juice almost every day at work I still have tons of receipts.

Just grab a random object that's lying around.

I have 5 or so bookmarks and don't use them

I was actually pretty good at memorising that. I'm great at remembering useless numbers. Maybe if I converted birthdays into purely numerical values I would remember them.

Oh I do this "remembering" all the time and seems like my to-be-read-pile of books takes a lot of time before they diminish!

In highschool which I always run out of things to insert in between the book pages, I take out a strand of my long hair. And then when I pick the book up again I'm like, "ew, hair!!! *throws*" and then I'm like "Oh no! What page did I leave it again..."

I don't read; reading is for four-eyed geeks life you guys.

[Shorty]

I use the remembering method Weasley does.

[Tigmafuzz]

I have never had the need for a bookmark as I can always remember the page I was on last, however I do use them for sentimental reasons if someone gave it to me. I have a small pile of them somewhere, and some of them I actually like.

I remember making a bookmark for a school contest in the 4th grade. I ended up getting 2nd place.
