Oh please detail, I feel like I'm missing something. What does the mighty fool-of-a-Took man do to books!?

You're thanked for that goodness!

My wife used to handle library returns. They had to examine each book for signs of bed bugs, and found interesting things used as bookmarks. Sometimes money, personal notes, or random business cards.

But I tell you, no story beat: A razor blade. Yep. Just fell right out. Naked and sharp. How's that for chaotic evil??

(Thankfully nobody was harmed. Glad they all wore gloves!)

Well that's a terrible bookmark! You have to be able to pick a bookmark up safely I feel!

I can't find the exact episode anymore (there is no short of it and I don't have the time rn to go through every one once again), but in the Friendship Onion podcast, he told us the following:

Earlier in his life he was working in a book printing factory. And apparently he was allowed to keep books (not sure if that was only when there were cosmetic defects etc). Anyway, he read these books but instead of using a bookmark, he just tore out the pages so that when opening the book, the current page would always be the first one.

Truly a fool of a took 🥲, but I still love him

(If anyone knows which episode that was, please share.)

We might need a 3rd axis for this, I feel it can be connected to any of these

I leave the whatever it is in the book at the end. Not in library books, mind you. Don't like making more work for librarians. I started the habit when I found a baggage claim ticket in a book I bought at a used bookstore. I leave them in when I pass them on to the next owner.

I've found a few ersatz bookmarks over the years. The best so far was a 6 of clubs. The worst was a used q-tip.

Burning the page you just finished reading so you can read the next page, while standing there in a dark labyrinth ~~where a minotaur is lurking~~.

I have done it all except leaving it face down

I used an eraser to keep track of it, had a bookmark that I used, and I actually used a pencil to keep track of where the sentence was, and don't even ask me about Adam Smith's wealth of nations where I quite literally did math on the pages with the charts and scribbled page numbers to keep track of shit

Oh fuck no

Is that chaotic lawful?

Just a reminder that you shouldn't put plants in your book – seriously, that can ruin the paper.

Chaotic Good, or I'm just listening to an audio book.

But... But it'll damage the the page. 🥺

You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going

Me whenever lose my bookmark thinking it's the worst thing to happen to me, my book is ruined, and then I find my exact spot in 6.4 seconds.

I do this. I also have a kind of system to mark where on the page I'm at, depending on which way the receipt is facing / oriented.

3d alignment chart would actually solve as many problems as it causes. I'm into it

I'm lawful good if I have a bookmark. I'm chaotic evil if I don't.

Ebooks for my dyslexia, when you're so chaotic you circle back around to lawful.
