What are some strange /lit/erary habits you guys have? I pace for an hour or two immediately after finishing a book, lost in thought.
I pace while reading. I create strange loop scavenger hunts in library books. I throw out dust jackets. I use a knife to follow along. I read good books 5x in a row and take copious notes, then listen to the audiobook and eventually copy the whole thing by hand.
i don't breathe until i've finished a page

Didn't know the valsalva effect applies to reading

Do you really do this ?
When I get tired I stand up bob hasidically while reading

i masturbate after each chapter that i read.
I masturbate my two male rabbits to the point of orgasm and use their excretions as a natural glue that binds together the dog-eared corner with the rest of the page.
It sounds like a lot of work when I could just as easily use a bookmark or use my own semen but I get to talk to Gouda and Trunks (rabbit's names) about what I just read and it calms all three of us down.
Not that weird I guess, just take an extra step or two to mark where I leave off at in a book.
seems like everyone paces. i assumed it was just adhd or w/e

The valsalva manoeuvre is when you close your airways and blow to regulate pressure in your sinuses, not just holding your breath.
I bob my knees while doing reload animations from various videogames

This, I was actually curious coming into this thread.
I'm always careful never to break the spines of books and I don't dogear my pages or anything. I know a lit agrees with this, but whenever some tumblrista sees the book Im reading she always asks me if I've even started it. I just like to keep them in good condition, I never got why you'd wanna mangle the book and write all over it and Im not sure how underlining parts of the book you like somehow authenticates your reading of it.

Yeah I know this, but for me its so bad I used to buy new books to keep in my shelf and just threw the read copy out. Nowadays I read on Kindle. I can't understand people who say "books should be read, not left on shelves", especially in forewords and shit. Can't stand it. I like to have a nice-looking library, not one that looks second hand or old. Signed copies and otherwise valuable books do have a place there, but its a small library and the only cool thing I have, I want it to look nice.

Exactly, I feel the same way anon. I like to by nice, early editions of books, and feel ashamed whenever I slap a penguins classics in the pile (whose spines I do usually break, just for the aesthetic. That black spine is really an eyesore).

It's what you tell stupid kids so they don't feel bad about needing potent psychostimulants to focus for longer than a chimp.

>dog-earring your books
After reading a book I feel an overpowering urge to go on to anime image boards so I can anonymously call people plebs.
