There are only two kinds of books that are truly loved - those pristine and undamaged, and those which look like they’ve been through the apocalypse

I read books to read what’s inside them, not to save them forever as objects. So chaotic evil it is. Unless there is a receipt handy.
Book Darts are the way. The only way. (That’s a “sentence pointer” made out of copper. It’s archival quality, so it won’t damage your book, even if you leave it there for a very long time.)
As with tradition, chaotic good.
I’m re-reading Eye of the World for the first time in about 15 year and see both CG and CE going on in spades…
Chaotic war-crime: dog-ear where you make the fold exactly big enough so it points to the line you left off on.
Yes I did this sometimes as a kid and I still feel bad for the librarians who had to see the devastation I wrought.
behold. LEAF
I’m all over the board.
The only ones I haven’t done (that i can recall) are “neutral good” and “chaotic neutral”
i do have a vague memory of pressed flower bookmarks when i was a youngster, probably was something my mom had.
Chaotic Evil would be ripping out every page you’ve read.
Hey Satan, nice to hear from you! Welcome to the chat!
Here to represent lawful evil. Don’t know when I used a bookmark the last time >:)
Same! I remember as a kid just deciding one day I would remember where I was at in a book, and ever since I’ve just… been able to remember.
Just a reminder that you shouldn’t put plants in your book – seriously, that can ruin the paper.
You’re right, plant material is going to decompose if there is any trace of humidity in the air and there goes your page… I just stick a thin slice of smoked ham in there
You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going
Not really worth it, in my opinion.
I fold dog ears everywhere, in variable sizes. The bigger the dog ear, the more important the passage.
Chaotic good. I have bookmarks, I just forget to use them.
I have a very old book (published in 1794) that has leaves, spiders, some writing, as well as fire and water damage. Not worth anything in the condition it’s in, but it’s mine and I love it. I’ve always wanted to know why there were spiders in it, but I’m thankful it’s not bound in human leather.
Save for a few I bought second hand, and the first book I ever owned (I managed to have it signed by the author 20 years later) the rest of my books look like they are fresh off a bookstore shelf.
I’m pretty sure the story of the book spiders began with: “a spider walked onto the page.”
Ugh, I feel unrepresented. I sort of remember where I was, read a bit to see if I recognize it, and then skip a little forward or backwards depending. I have definitely skipped entire chapters before because the style/sentences sounded like what I remember.
Chaotic Good, or I’m just listening to an audio book.
Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file
