Do you bend over pages

[undeterred]

when you're reading so you don't lose your place?

[trof]

1. DO NOT DOG EAR!

It's the LAW!

[wildhorses]

2. oh NO wait til Rabrrrrr sees this...

you will suffer the wrath of Rabrrrrrr:scared:

[MrCoffee]

3. oohhhh, when *reading*. Ahem. no, of course not.

[wildhorses]

8. as soon as I clicked off the thread...I got it...

he SOOOOOOOO deserves a spanking:spank:

[wildhorses]

9. I hate it when this happens

:argh:

[VeggieTart]

4. Oh, THOSE pages. Yes. n/t

[Book Lover]

5. Yeah, sometimes

Books are there to be used, not admired.

[BarenakedLady]

6. I admit it

I do. Because I'm too lazy to find a bookmark or a piece of paper to mark my place.

[reyd reid reed]

7. Oh god.

Bending pages. Lemme at 'em. Let. me. at. 'em.

I Hate that. Hate it hate it hate it. Makes me see red.

I also hate when people lay an open book facedown to save their place. BOOKMARKS, people.

:mad:

14. A decently made book's spine will easily withstand that kind of use (nm)

10. ...........

[elfrangel]

11. Always...

I never can find a bookmark when I need one.


Ah the joys of having a 2 year old and 2 dogs inside the house.

[Broken_Hero]

12. nope, I use my

Obi Won bookmark...he is a trusting soul...:)

[youthere]

13. Guilty.

[Nicole]

15. Never

If I loan a book to someone who does it, they will never get another one from me.

Bookmarks, or even scraps of paper, are your friend. :)

[madrchsod]

16. shouldn`t this be in gd?

no i don`t bend pages i use a piece of paper

[tjwmason]

17. No - I grab some random piece of paper for a book-mark.

The most commonly used are rail tickets which work absolutely wonderfully.

[NMMNG]

18. Sometimes

But I don't insert body parts into the crevices for any reason.

[pokerfan]

19. Never to just mark my place

and never if it doesn't belong to me.

But on books I own and to mark passages I might wish to find again, sure.

[gr8dane_daddy]

20. I'm not a republican congressman...

errr, nevermind. :blush:

[Spider Jerusalem]

21. Christ, no. Only philistines do that.

I always use a bookmark. A decently-bound book printed on fairly good paper will outlast the owner. My library will outlive me, and the books will still be in good condition for whoever gets them after.

[In_The_Wind]

22. never never never

unless it's a mail-order cataloger


I always use a piece of paper or my business card as a book-mark instead of damaging a book.

[jane_pippin]

23. Depends on the book

If it's a book that I know I want to keep forever, and one I want to keep in good condition, then I use bookmarks. If it's a textbook, or a paperback that isn't particularly nicely made, then I don't really care as much. I like books, but I like them for what's inside them. I don't feel the need to treat them like sacred objects of worship, generally. (Though I respect people who do) :D

[Mutley]

24. Sometimes I will if it's a cheap, cheesy paperback novel.

But NEVER with a good book, or a Nice book.

And Never if it belongs to someone else.









BTW... :spank:

[displacedtexan]

25. Things you should NEVER use as bookmarks

Plastic
Metal
Acidic paper
Cloth with no pH balance
Threads
Brads
Staples
Pins

The original bookmarks were strips of leather.

Want a pH balanced, attractive leather page cuff?

IM me with your mailing address, and I'll send you one.
I sell them for $5, but I have some extras (about a dozen-- free for DUers).
I'll even eat the shipping if you promise not to dog ear your books.

I think you'll really like them.
