why couldn't the fascists have been more tasteful?

i use a one of those advertising playing cards you get in a new deck

I wish I had something longer and better looking

>>8656105

>>8656128
Fuck you.

>>8656138
what's the problem with that? there are no words up there.

>>8656105
I use the free ones that Book Depository sends. I also sometimes use postcards. I have a few novelty/ironic bookmarks that I've collected over the years as well (religious bookmark from church, sorority bookmark with a cheesy quote on it, you get the idea) that I occasionally use.

>>8656132
kek

Usually the receipt that came with the book or a scrap piece of paper.

I do have a few random bookmarks I grabbed because there was a box of them for free though.

>>8656144
Hey, I know this anime lady!

>>8656105
i just use the recommended reciept from barnes and noble or tear off a peice of notebook paper. i always throw it away when i finish though.

>not having a new copy for every book

napkins so I can take notes and wipe off my dirty greasy fucking fingers because I'm disgusting

>>8656171
I always wash my hands before reading

I have a shitload of those free ones you get from bookdepo so i just use them.

Bookmarks are for the weak.

I don't use bookmarks.

>>8656262

Obviously the ribbons bound in my nice hardcovers.

Fucking pseuds

>>8656262
ffs anon

I buy a lot of used books. A lot of times they come with shit like this in them that I use as bookmarks.

That note is pretty gay

I use a bit of paper which I write the book name and a little doodle

Skim reading that I wondered if milk day was some kind of Stirner thing.

My bookmark is an entire packet of ramada inn stationary, because I was worried if I removed one, I would lose it, and I don't have a lot left and need them a lot.

Online Booksellers usually send bookmarks

>>8656262
you have to go back

>>8656105
I don't use bookmarkers, they are annoying if I'm reading outside my home. Memorizing the page number I left off is easier.

This is the best bookmark ever and I'm not sure why. maybe because it is not glossy and never slips or because it doesn't stick out too much.

I plan to order from them again if I ever lose it.

I get these in the mail with my insurance cards.

I use these tour pamphlet things from state parks.

i have a nice birthday card my grandpa sent me a while back

How do you read the Bible on one sitting?

>>8656750
superficially with manna and diapers

Canadian tire money works great

I use playing cards or bills

It works.

>>8656262
A classic lmao.

Im not a little girl so i just us whatever is near me

I spit on the page and it buckles so it's easier to find.

I don't have a fucking "bookmark" "game".

>>8656836
This must be a "hard" book to read. Lol.

Is it weird that I only read books in chapters ,so dont need a mark because I remember

Bragging about such a superficial accessory to something that is not meant to be socially strut around is precisely why you have "booktubers" and the current state of young adult fiction. Kill yourself

>not finishing the book in one sitting
Plebs. All of you.

I used to make my own book marks before hit the teens and my mum would lamenate them for me .dont really care what my book mark looks like now anything I have lying around will do

i either grab bookmarks from Half Price books or I snag them at art galleries/ museums, or receipts. That or I just remember the page.

Joke's on you. I read from my phone.

i only stop at the end of chapters so i can memorize my place

>>8656373
maybe if you're a postmodern dinasour bro

>>8656105
I use the bookmark I was given as a child at my local library. It has a picture of Oxford on it and it reminds me every day of my failures.

>>8656836
that fits for Bataille

>>8656569
The dragon's pretty cool.

>>8656262
what's wrong with this?

Why pay a dollar for a bookmark? Why not use the dollar for a bookmark?

>>8657393
Because we use coins.

>>8656105
I literally just use scraps of paper, but I do own one cool bookmark that I don't use that often. I'll post pics in a second - it was made by some orphans in Morocco and was given to me by a friend who worked in their orphanage.

>>8657459
>scraps of paper
this

>>8656105
I just dog-ear the top of the page to keep my place.

And guess what /lit/...

If I find a quote I really like, you want to know what I do?

I underline it in the book, then I dog-ear the bottom of the page so I can find it easy. Then I just leave it like that, lying there all dogeared and creased and penned up.

How does that make you feel /lit/?

>>8656262

This. Who the fuck wants to carry around a faggy bookmark. Just fold the page you're on down or up to the last word you read?

we need to make some /lit/ approved bookmarks you can print out and use

>>8657470
Horny.

>>8657470
Happy, a pristine book is one which has no story outside it's pages.

>>8657462
Yeah. If I don't give a fuck about the aesthetics of my book, I sure as fuck don't care about the aesthetics of my bookmark. I used to dog ear the pages but after a while the edges get messed up and tear etc.

>>8657459
Here's my only cool bookmark.

>>8656105
I use playing cards.
If a deck has a few missing the rest of the pack becomes bookmarks.

My high school library set out the old calling cards to use as notecards when I was there. Thought I could use them for something cool and took a stack. I've used them as bookmarks since. Feels appropriate.

>>8657470
Detached. Not my book.

>>8657241
What's wrong with being a postmodern dinosaur?

Realistically, I used my headphones, or a tea towel, or paperwork, or whatever's lying on my table -- this is for those annoying books with reams of notes at the back (i.e. all of them).

Either I remember or use the library return date receipt

>>8657550
What if I asked to borrow you're book

and you said yeah and gave me your first edition gravity's Rainbow

and I read it and gave it back to you

and you realized I'd dog-eared it on every page top and bottom, and underlined literally every line

Would you fuck me up homie?

>>8657601
Yeah. Unless you asked or something.

Not even because you did shit to my book; it's just good practice to get disrespect out of someone else's system.

>>8657374
Got it from bookdepository
Apparently it's part of a collection of colouring bookmarks but I can't be arsed to do that

>>8657638
woah man, that's cold

>>8657721
Sometimes you've gotta be cold, man, 'cause it's a cold, cold world out there.

Just my notes on character names and other stuff.

>>8656105
I tear out each page and eat it after reading it. Better for information retention and I don't waste my time fumbling around with bookmarks like a fucking child.

Here is an example of my patented poorfag bookmark™

>>8657981
I just use a tissue my man.

>>8656105
I use my old collection of pokemon cards. If they're library books I leave them in somewhere on a random page for someone else to find.

I use Canadian Tire money

>>8657981
I do the same!

I started making them a bit fancier, though: full piece of notebook paper, folded over many times, and then tape the last fold down. Ends up looking pretty nice, and certainly does the job of bookmarking.

>>8656105
been using a recipe note for a while, before that a random piece of paper

A couple years ago I found a coupon that let you print 1000 cards for $5.

I have some nice bookmarks but in recent months I kind of stopped using them. Now I just use old theatre tickets.

I use a large rubberband

I have a stack from book depository

>tfw borrow a book from the library
>it has a bookmark in it
>it's a BD design that I didn't have

>>8656144

>>8658336
fucking weaboo be suicide

Honestly, why do you even need a bookmark? I can usually remember the page number I was on, and even if I can't, I can usually find the page within 20 seconds provided that I remember what I last read.

>>8656144
Puto follawaifus.

>>8658363
20 seconds 365 times adds up to 2 hours

>>8658376
>t. Very busy and important businessman

>>8658414
t. has 35 days in Football Manager

I don't know if anyone has done this, but I do it with all my books. Whenever I want to stop reading, I just take the page number and divide it by ten. I go to that page, rip it out, and use it as a bookmark. If I stop at page 60, I'll go to page 6 and use that as a bookmark.

>>8656263
Anyone got a high resolution version of this?

>>8656743
Hey, I live near there.

>>8656466
Post more of your bookmarks anon. I'm interested.

>>8658313

>Print out bookmarks

Small sticky note

>>8657981
I used to tear corners off of my homework to use as bookmarks because I could never keep track of them.

>>8658336
>What is a beauty mark

>>8656105
I use sheets of toilet paper as bookmarks because I do most of my reading in the bathroom.

>>8658376
The problem with people saying things like this is that those 20 seconds aren't localized, so tearing them out of the day isn't ACTUALLY adding 2 hours to your schedule, since you'll spend that 20 seconds doing nothing. Unless you're cutting out a BUNCH of things per day (or at least set them aside for certain times of the week/month), you're not getting any more useable time.
>>8658442
Anon, that is a weird habit. You're kind of wasting a book that way, even if you don't intend to keep it (since it could go to someone else), plus that sounds like a symptom of OCD.

>>8656132
God I hate that Mason and Dixon cover, it looks like a compressed JPEG

I tend to use train tickets.

Also if you tear pages out you deserve to be shot, and left unburried.

Anyone else think it's really faggy how people pretend to get angry at people folding the corners of the pages of their book?
First of all, it's not even your book.
Second, it really doesn't matter the condition of the corner because all the words are elsewhere on the page.
Third, people mostly read cheap paperback books that won't last that long anyway.

The fetishiziation of books as a phsyical object screams reddit

>>8659104
I used to do it. Would rather just used a bookmark now though cause sometimes it unfolds when I'm moving the book around.

I just use my bookstore receipts
Why do you need anything else?

>>8658717
How long does it take for you to finish a book? Do you spend a hour a day in the toilet or something?

>Not using magnum condoms as bookmarks
That's how I know you guys are virgins.

>>8656262
absolutely degeneracy

>>8659748
I don't like getting the pages all greasy with lube.

I read exclusively on a kindle, so I have no need of a bookmarker.

Get with the times you luddites

>>8658744
>I tend to use train tickets.

Post Its a god tier. Cheap, efficient, great to note something while reading.

Everything else is just trying to show off something, no one is supposed to see.

That's our usual Aldi sign at night, doesn't really look too red.

>>8656122
There was no official art of Fascist Italy (unlike in Germany).Mussolini was personall opposed to the concept. Futurism was just one movement and personally I think it looks pretty good

>>8660291
That's the ugly one. There are some that don't have the square and instead have the letters with yellow and blue underlined by red. Can't find a pic

I use an old Thoth deck that has a few cards missing

>>8660372
You mean one of those?
Never seen them in germany, although we have to different Aldis (Süd and Nord).

Must be some non-german thing.

>>8660392
Yeah those. Saw one in the mist late at night last weekend with the empty parking lot it was pretty. I'm not german, must be it
