There are only two kinds of books that are truly loved - those pristine and undamaged, and those which look like they’ve been through the apocalypse

I’m not sure who would stop reading in the middle of a page/paragraph (neutral good), but if I were to do that, I’d have re-read the whole page.
I do this. Sometimes I read in really short bursts, like for the length of an elevator ride. I don’t mark it though, I just remember where I left off. I do this so much it’s become easy to just get right back into the story even mid paragraph.
I use old Zimbabwean money.
Where does Pokemon cards land
Today I learned I’m neutral evil.
I was in the memorizing the page number gang, but then I had to go on valprolates.
Chaotic good gang checking in.
Yoooooo
Let’s gooooo!!
Hmm, what’s this? Any reasonably flat object? It will make a fine bookmark!
My library gives out paper due-date receipts, so its was meant to be.
I’m neutral evil
I read through this top left to bottom right and did NOT expect to find myself in the last panel. Yes I’m a monster
I guess I’m chaotic good when I’m not just listening to audiobooks, but I like to find a Magic card that fits the general vibe of the book.
For example, I chose Lost in a Labyrinth for House of Leaves
That’s so cool thank you for sharing this little tidbit :)
I’m true neutral if I have a bookmark. I’m chaotic evil if I don’t.
But what alignment are you if you use those colored tabs to bookmark several things at once? Those are what I’ve used most often because that’s for work shit… Like research and what not. I don’t need to keep my place, I need to know what I might be referencing a lot.
Book Darts are the way. The only way. (That’s a “sentence pointer” made out of copper. It’s archival quality, so it won’t damage your book, even if you leave it there for a very long time.)
Here to represent lawful evil. Don’t know when I used a bookmark the last time >:)
Same! I remember as a kid just deciding one day I would remember where I was at in a book, and ever since I’ve just… been able to remember.
Chaotic Good, or I’m just listening to an audio book.
Just a reminder that you shouldn’t put plants in your book – seriously, that can ruin the paper.
You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going
You’re right, plant material is going to decompose if there is any trace of humidity in the air and there goes your page… I just stick a thin slice of smoked ham in there
Chaotic good. I have bookmarks, I just forget to use them.
I have a very old book (published in 1794) that has leaves, spiders, some writing, as well as fire and water damage. Not worth anything in the condition it’s in, but it’s mine and I love it. I’ve always wanted to know why there were spiders in it, but I’m thankful it’s not bound in human leather.
Save for a few I bought second hand, and the first book I ever owned (I managed to have it signed by the author 20 years later) the rest of my books look like they are fresh off a bookstore shelf.
I’m pretty sure the story of the book spiders began with: “a spider walked onto the page.”
It’s a book of psalms and prayers. The idea of someone asking what passage they should read and being answered with “The spider bookmarked one” brings me joy.
