CTRL-D

I read a lot. Or a moderate amount anyways. In either case I have yet to start a book and not finish it. I think that says something. I know other people who read a lot also, and I've noticed that not many of them use a steady bookmark. I know there are all sorts of one which are designed to be used over and over again, made of metal and such, but I could never get into those. I tend to use a different bookmark on every book I read, but it doesn't have to be a "bookmark" bookmark. It's varied between things such as movie stubs, bits of string, pictures, sticky notes, blank pieces of paper, or the dust jacket. But I've outdone myself this time. Below is a picture of my latest bookmark.



I'm now using as a bookmark the last book I read. Good thing it wasn't "IT" or "Lord of the Rings" or even "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or I'd have lost my place many times or have a thoroughly misshapen copy of Waiting for Godot.

I think when you get to R+G are dead you should book mark it with a coin.

I applaud thee.

I've done this before. After I stopped collecting bookmarks with frayed tassles. Now I dog ear the pages at my convenience. It makes it look like I've labored over the text with critical thought.
