I’m not at all sure that this is suitable for my Weekend Funny Challenge because for me it is horror just plain simple horror at the thought of all those little creased pages. Bent and twisted simply trying to entertain us with their stories.
Honestly in my opinion:
I have used anything I could find as bookmarks. anything to keep the pages from being bent or folded.

Books have always been my escape. The only difference between a librarian and an author is the number of books they have in their libraries. 🙂

Me too – books have gotten me through some of the worst periods in my life and some of the best. Prior to Kindle [although I do prefer the ‘real’ books] I was running out of room in my house. There have been years where I spent more money on books than rent – and have NEVER regretted it.

But when we lend out the book or pass it on, those turned corners tell the recipient where the best stuff is!

Exactly – then all the joy goes from finding it for themselves plus ‘the books, won’t someone think of the books’ 😀 😀 lol

I guess I’m in the monster group … but I don’t ever dog tag the pages. I fold the page in half or when I can I use the book cover as the bookmark. Do you hate me? Please don’t shoot me … and if it was your book (or anyone else’s book) I’d use a bookmark … It’s only MY books I do this too. I do have some respect! 😉

As a writer and a reader, the association with book is the true essence of life and living, living a much more purposeful life. What we read and how we read makes a large difference in our life. The way we treat and handle our book is a significant component in that engagement and engaging in a courteous way is a window to fostering better relationship with the thoughts that gets emanated from the book.
In order to mark a beautiful engagement with the book, it has to be the bookmark not the fold which affects the soul that is so much lying within the lovely words nicely spread on the white space of each page…indeed this is a much needed thought provoking idea for the weekend.

There are times when you lend to somebody, the lender beomes the owner and you lose it forever. Mostly these people would have rarely read it and it gathers dust wherever they had dumped it…
