Yes, bookmarks ftw!

Somehow my brain didn't see "oddities..."? That will be fun! But will take a while, certainly. -_- I hate pronunciation!

Bookmarks! Oh, my goodness. Dog-earing kills my soul.

haha, Suz, I can't even highlight my texts. I just take notes and stick sticky notes everywhere.

Dog-earing and bending back book covers makes my liver hurt.

Sounds like a good program, Nate! :D

Heh I'm really bad at dog earing *blushing* But now I've two bookmarks. I can manage but sometimes it just happens without you doing so. Sounds interesting though Nate :).

Dog earing FTW!

Bookmarks take up too much room and they can get lost. *nods*

*cringes and runs to protect her precious books* I don't even do sticky notes... I grab a piece of paper and write down the page number. Poor, poor books...

psh, I fold pages, I underline and highlight and star, I write notes, I reference other parts of the book, and oh goodness, sticky-notes make my life. Makes everything seem more home-y.

Mint condition books are what libraries are for :P

Holy monkeys.

Dog earring books is like ripping a pafge out. Ruins it. Lol. That said, I don't use a bookmark either - I always forget - I memorise page numbers. I couldn't even mark my texts this semester for uni. They kept telling me to highlight the book. O.o


This *shall* be interesting.

Bookmarks!
- I memorise page numbers.


:razz: Same here. Before that, I just cracked the spine and warped the book so it wouldn't close all the way, thus saving my page. That worked out pretty well when I only took a couple days on a novel, but then school kicked in...

Bookmarks!

And I disagree. Libraries are full of cruddy, beat-up books. Mint condition is for e-bay, 20 years from now.

oddities in the English language. I'm there! No. Not really there. I couldn't make it to DC in time.
