- Reading: Objects as Bookmarks
Hello /lit/
Let's play a game. Bookmarks. We decide, either based on the book, or the author of the book, what the most appropriate item would be to use as a bookmark, or an ironic item to use as a bookmark. You get the idea.
tldr: funny/appropriate bookmarks
50 shades of grey
tissues
Twilight
Oryx & Crake

I have a weird bookmarking system, and people think I'm crazy, but this really works for me, personally, not saying it's for everybody. What I do is I rip out an earlier page of the book and use that as a bookmark. So if I start a book, and I get to page 5, I rip out page 1, and stick it in the book to mark my place. Why do I do this? Another example: I continue reading the book and I get to page 20, I rip out page 2, stick in the book, my place is marked. Now, what's the advantage of this system? Let's say you keep reading and you get to page 30 this time, you rip out page 3, stick it in the book, now you know where you left off. What do you do with pages 1 and 2 that you ripped out and put in the book? Why don't I use a traditional bookmark? What is the point of all this? Why? Why do I do this?

While reading Blood Meridian I used my own severed scalp as a bookmark.
While reading Ulysses I used a copy of The Odyssey to hold my place. Just shoved the whole book right in there.
