I've been most of these, but mostly chaotic good.

Small post-it notes

That way when I get distracted by another book, I can leave the mark right there. Considering I'm always "in the middle of" at least five books, this is the best solution I've found.

What's neutral+neutral evil+chaotic good?

[iheartcheese@lemmy.world]

With an accent?

[shalafi@lemmy.world]

Fuck me I hate those things. Straight to the trash.

I’d love to do this clearly easier method except that dust jackets are the devil. One, they ALWAYS get ruined, ALWAYS. Two, they’re weirdly loud if you read in bed & your partner is trying to sleep. Three they sure don’t keep dust off if you store books on a shelf standing up

[beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Sorry but the whole chart is misaligned here. Lawful good is dog-earing the page: it requires zero extra items and uses the structure of the book itself, and it doesn’t get in the way like a (shudder) ribbon does.

All others are chaotic evil options that get in the way of reading

Mental illness

Okay, and where is throwing the book aside and remembering the page, and when you inevitably forget where you were, just starting from the last place you vaguely remember?

[agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works]

I'm consistently in the middle of many, many books. I use dollar bills so I get a reward for actually finishing.

[bdonvr@thelemmy.club]

I try my best to never stop mid-chapter so I don't relate to any of this.

[firetower@lemmy.world]

Tear the page you're on out and keep it in your pocket to look back to when you need to start again and you can find the page # on the torn out page. /S

Calm down, Satan

[octrom@lemmy.world]

This is delightful, thank you for sharing.

[adm_drummer@lemmy.world]

LE gang rise up!

[usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca]

Tear each page out as you read them. You'll always open the book to the page you're on

[rebekahwsd@lemmy.world]

Guess I'm chaotic good. Library gives a receipt for checked out books and even puts it in the book, so I just use that.

[hazmatastic@lemm.ee]

Chaotic Good +, I usually end up making a bookmark at my desk by folding and taping paper or a post-it

[grass@sh.itjust.works]

ebook is the only way to guarantee I can read the book. page material and gloss, layout, spacing, kerning, etc. can all combine in various ways to make me inexplicably unable to read or have a really hard time reading where I have to focus really hard on each letter rather than each sentence. Oled has made is possible for me to read large bodies of text on phones but for full books I always go for the eink.

I throw them away because I will tear them, the tears will catch on my hands, and it will slide half-off at the worst possible time.
