I do neither, I usually remember where I left off and return to that page the next time I read.
by Gideon on December 10th, 2007
I love buying bookmarks, but I end up never using them. Still, I don't like to bend the pages so I've been using the stub of my voter registration application for a few years now.

bookmarks. I'm a big fan of original bookmarks. It's a part of a ritual.

Bookmarks
by Nathan Explosion on January 3rd, 2008
I hate dog-eared pages! I use a deck of old poker cards for bookmarks...
by Perryman on December 10th, 2007
Bookmarks, with a nature theme or with a Bible scripture on them.
by American idle on December 10th, 2007
Bookmarks. I have so many of them, but they get lost somewhere, (probably leave them IN the books). I can only find my Harry Potter and Albert Einstein right now! :)
by Shady Guy on December 10th, 2007
Bookmarks - it seems like book abuse to me to dog-ear the pages.
by EL1 2 on December 10th, 2007
I dog-ear the page.
by JTP on December 10th, 2007
Neither, I can always fine my page rather quickly, I just close the book and flip back to the page i was on.
by Peregrine on September 21st, 2008
Neither. Post its :D
by Carpediem COAT ab imo pectore on September 5th, 2008
I use bookmarks, I don't like to write or mark the books with pens or colors and thus damage them.
by Babycakes on August 19th, 2008
I just turn the book over (left open ) and lay it flat on my end table .
by BirdsEyeView on April 23rd, 2008
I don't like dog-earing my pages, so i'll pick up the closest thing and use it as my bookmark
by Virgie Lou on March 3rd, 2008
I get free printable bookmarks on the web so have a few in several rooms. I also use them to mark pages in craft and recipe books.
by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on March 1st, 2008
I use a bookmark everytime, books are our friends!!!
I have lots of bookmarks laying around for just such an occasion. I make them out of old pictures and concert tickets that I laminate.
by Jade on March 1st, 2008
I like keeping my books as neat as possible, I either stop at the beginning of a chapter or just remember the page number.
by Ms.A on March 1st, 2008
I rip the pages out as I read them ;)
by BigDaddyBS on March 1st, 2008
Used to turn down the corners, but prefer using an index or playing card (doesn't damage the pages that way).
by Merfish on March 1st, 2008
Paperbacks, just lay them down flat on the page I am reading (I am bad). Hardbacks or something borrowed, the first thing I can grab. Right now I am using an insert from a magazine.
by mb4877 needs a nap on March 1st, 2008
I'm a dog ear-er
by Meg is exhausted on March 1st, 2008
I'm a naughty page folder......
by Takei-Shihan on March 1st, 2008
I usually just memorize the page number.
by Pinkheavens on March 1st, 2008
I use bookmarkers.
by Someguy on February 21st, 2008
Dog ear. I like to know which books i have read and that's an easy way to do it.
by davetheddick on January 25th, 2008
A book mark of any sort. I was taught to respect the written word, even if if I did not agree with it. Books were a valuable thing deserving of care. Even today, tho the power may go out, my job could end, so I cannot pay my Internet fees, a book can provide entertainment, knowledge, maybe even inspiration as long as the sun shines or I can keep a small candle burning.
by Theby on January 16th, 2008
I just remember the page number. I hate opening books and finding them dog-eared.
by Da Azian Boi on December 10th, 2007
I usually remember which page I am on, or I use some of my nifty bookmarks!
by Shelby on December 10th, 2007
I always dog-ear. I shouldn't, but I do!
by SASSYWI-Q-Sassia-Jetpacking with NASCAR on December 10th, 2007
Always a bookmark,I never dog-ear the pages.
by Lady Alathia of Vulcan on December 10th, 2007
I usually just remember the page number, or the chapter.
by Drastic on December 10th, 2007
I use bookmarks, or a torn off piece of paper.
by Treganna on December 10th, 2007
I use a makeshift bookmark... usually a post-it note or a till receipt.
by blondecowgirl865 loves NC bbq on December 10th, 2007
I dog-ear. I hate doing that, because I read every book I have at least 3 times right after I get it ( I love books!) By the time I'm finished my pages look weird... but I always lose my bookmarks. *sigh*

i dog ear mine +5
by Ditto on August 27th, 2009
I would NEVER fold the corner of a page in a book. I might in a magazine but never in a book. I would use a bookmark or piece of paper.
by Esperanza on August 27th, 2009
If it is my book, I fold the page. But, if is a library or a freind's book, I use a bookmark.
by shammers still slogging along on August 27th, 2009
I used to fold over the edges when I was a kid but now I always use a book mark or the jacket flap. Bookmark is better.
by pouncey on August 27th, 2009
i usually just fold a piece of paper and use that as a book mark.
by racheleastman on July 12th, 2009
dog ear... much easier

by BRG on December 27th, 2008
I always use bookmarks!!! how dare anyone bend the pages of any book to keep their place!!!!!!!My bookmarks are usually the date due slips from the library, or else those subscription cards that come in magazines!! not very original, eh?????? LOL
by WiseOldUnicorn on September 24th, 2008
I dog-ear paperbacks, but I use bookmarks for hardcovers. I don't know why, but I always tend to respect my hardcovers and abuse my paperbacks.
by Jen says hi - xx on September 22nd, 2008
