bobbyshinton 59 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I normally try to finish reading at the end of a chapter of a round page number eg 200. I hate people turn the page corners over Book marks are for senile people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 If I was reading a first print edition I might use my bus ticket, other wise, what's the problem with putting the corner over on a £3.99 paperback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth Operator 10 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I can't fold the pages over cos it's a bugbear of mine too, can't manage to remember the page number of chapter number I was at either so I usually start the book all over again each time. I've just finished Groundhog Day, a bit "samey" for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'm reading 5 books at the moment and have been for quite a few months. I dont bookmark or do anything as once i've put it down i like to re-read the last few pages to get back into it. I try to finish on chapter ends but usually just try and remember roughly where i was. I therefore sometimes actually go backwards as i pick up the book only re-read one page then put the book down open and forget. When i pick it up again, i always go back a few pages to get into it again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you hold the book upside down sometimes when you're doing the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Me either. I can sometimes read two at once when I'm on me hols or something but even then it has to be a novel and a biography (or other non-fiction book) otherwise I get confused.
