>>18504177
checked
read the book and find out

>>18504177
That's a clover???

>>18504215
Also known as "clubs"

I don't, I finish books in one sitting.
If a book cannot be finished in one sitting its worthless trash only read by midwits or worse.

My dick

Been reading LoA and Everman's lately, so the ribbon. Generally I use leaves, oak leaves are best, they are leathery when dry.

I found this little fellow inside a charity shop book I bought.

>>18504271
I bet you get so much pussy.

I once found a mysterious photograph inside a second hand book. What makes it "mysterious" is that its all dark and i can't make out the face of the one person that seems to appear in it, only the clear-blue shirt he's wearing (im assuming its a he). Why someone would leave that in a book, I don't know.

A piece of laminated blue paper my girlfriend made with pressed flowers and a poem on it :)

>>18504148
i make bunny ears

>>18504620
It is a photograph of your future self, left by your future self. You are trying to tell yourself to not just let yourself fade into the background.

I write the page and paragraph I left off with pencil on the first page.

>>18504148
The recipt from the store i bought it from

>>18504154
this
i like to keep them vaguely on-theme as well

The store i buy from includes a free bookmark every purchase you make from them but they've sent me ugly ones before that i refuse to use

>>18504148
I colored an index card blue and then I wrote "Bookmark" on it

>>18504148
the tv remote

I get those nice ones you find in gift shops

>>18505482
good job, anon. never waste money. everything can be a bookmark.

I just remember which page I stopped at

>>18504647
Cute

>>18504148
Clothing tags, a folded post-it note, or stuff I find in used books.

>>18505645
is that from the hokusai x uniqlo stuff? i bought 2 of those shirts too lol

>>18505482
Stupid fucking NEET. *kicks*

>>18505714
Yes.

>>18504148
I'm not sure if this counts.
> finish two pages
> jack off onto them
> turn to the next page
This way I don't need a bookmark. If I can't open the book at a certain page because there's dried cum sticking it to all of the previous pages, then I've already read that page. Unfortunately, this method means that I don't get much reading done.

>>18505729

Only the finest of bookmarks will do for an elegant gentleman such as myself.

$2 set of bird bookmarks

a folded yellow post-it note

cut up pieces of a wall paper that i had in my childhood home.

>>18505954
>tfw when you lose your bookmark

>>18504177
It's good when stuff like this happens, I think it's life showing you you're on the right track.

>>18504148

A brass ruler of about 5 inches length.

>>18504148
>What do you use for a bookmark /lit/?

I just fold down the page I'm currently on.

>>18505954
>>18506757
God damn it, why did this make me laugh?

The little cardboard inserts from my razor blades. Perfect size and thickness.

>>18505068
if it looks stupid, but does work, it is not stupid.

>>18504148
Just doggy ear it.

>>18506949
goddamn degenerate.

>>18504148
I tear out and throw away every page once I’m done with it.

A bookmark of the water Lillie's I got at Musee d'orsay 8 years ago

Toilet paper slices, duh.

>>18504148
I don't use a bookmark. Remembering where I left off is not hard...

I remember where I stop. If I forget where I stopped then some rereading from a part that I do remember, to bring the contents back to mind before moving on, is only proper.

I use just whatever flat and flexible thing I find laying around

>>18506992
lmao before reading I thought you used the razor blades

>>18504148
Unironically toilet paper

Some random piece of paper. Currently a strip of paper I tore off an old unfilled form.

I have a band of women's hair that I've accumulated while working at a gym. I would just sneak into the showers and pull some out of the drain and add it to the collection. Makes everything smell wonderful too.

WHAT

>>18510246
what are those blue pills

>>18510263
Yeah, I'm like that, man. :3

If you can't remember what page you were on, were you even really reading? It takes like 3 seconds to find my spot in the book. I usually stop reading between chapters/sections anyway so how is there any problem really.

>>18510324

>>18505519
Got one like this when I went to London but it was sadly stolen along with the book :(

>>18510351
i see, those pills are definitely for autistic weebs

My penis desu

Brehs I'm going to buy LOTR box set, which store do I buy it from that can give me free bookmarks ?

>>18510573
cheers bud

I use tarot cards, as of right now I am using the seven of swords. I've been meaning to replace it; especially since its purpose has been for the Bible and I just finished reading about its statutes on mysticism and soothsaying

>>18510810
I just got my box, and didn't even get a receipt. Anyone??? Websites that will give you bookmarks.

>>18504271
This but unironically

I bookmark the pdf on my browser and write the page number on the bookmark.
>reading physical books

>>18505858

Do that in a Bible and then burn it so you can summon a succubus.

>>18510324

Condensed WaPo articles.

>>18504148
One of these, I turn the lock of the cable tie depending on what page I'm on

>>18504715
really?

>>18504148
Regular note card. I leave one in every book I read. Interesting to see the degeneration of the pressed pulpwood in the books I read more often. Some have coffee stains, some have rain marks. Others get grimy and torn to pieces since I literally cannot stop rereading them.

>>18513540
yes. it's cheap, clean, easily available, eco-friendly, pragmatically usable, does never ruin any paper, etc. why don't people use them instead?

I wait for one to fall out of a book I'm reading them I use that one until I find another.

I use these.

>>18513532
That’s actually really cool.
