I always flip to the last page of books when I'm first starting. I tell myself it's just to see how many pages there are, but I always read the last few words or sentence.

maybe i'm just naturally dirty but even though i wash my hands before reading, the tops and bottoms of the pages look like they brown a little bit.

I used to be able to tell how far along in a book I was cause the parts I had read were darker, but it seems to have stopped lately

Why don't you dry your hands you off you stupid fucking mongoloid. How the fuck am I supposed to relate to your stupid ass if you can't even think to dry your wet dripping hands before touching the pages of a book you fucking retard.

I do thoroughly dry them off, but it's like they stay wet enough to fuck up the paper for a long time after I wash them
>>7680992
Then don't wash your hands?
>>7681001
But then my books will get dirty. nigga I don't think you understand
>>7681003
What third world shithole do you live in that requires you too wash caked on dirt and dung off your oily hands just to pick up a book without tainting the creamy white of its pages senpai.

I always tend to get my books pretty dirty, just finished "Why We Lost" and there are fingerprints, smudges and even a fucking grease stain on the cover. I don't give a shit. At least anyone who looks at my book collection will be able to tell that I've actually read them just by looking at them.
