What is the /lit/ consensus on folding down the corner of a page to bookmark it?

Is it acceptable or a sin?

>> No.20237539

If anyone has strong opinions on this they're probably a lonely autist. Do whatever the fuck you want, nerd - it's your book.

The only people who think this is okay are pedos and trannies.

Just rip off a piece of the ibuprofen box by the side of your bed and use that like everyone else.

I do it on books I read to gain information from but otherwise have no personal attachment to.

I don't do it on books I have a respect for.

So I fold them on business books or on any book that has a strictly practical purpose like me learning the language.

But I dont fold them on the Holy Bible and such.

Forgiveable. Much worse are the people who write inside the book - I don't mean inside textbooks where it's expected, but people writing sums or shopping lists or some shit on the endpapers, just because it's a handy piece of paper.

Two sometimes actually, but why would you read multiple books at the same time? You're dividing your attention between different books. It's okay if one book is fiction an the other is nonfiction, or another is a poetry anthology you're grazing, but I wouldn't go any further than that

The proper way is to glue together every page that you've read. That way you'll know exactly where you are and it will motivate you to keep moving forward.

>> No.20241078

>>20241074
The feeling of finishing a book and turning it into a single unreadable glue block on your shelf is also incomparable. To know you conquered the book to such an extent that no one can ever read it again.
