    I use a homemade Dexter bookmark usually. However, sticky notes foled in hafl and bookstore receipts work well for me, too.

Even the reading copy is in fine condition. I once read a book wearing latex gloves. All the Beauty Sinners by Stephen Graham Jones. So yeah, no bookmarks, just memory. Kindle is easier.

      Latex gloves...?! Too risky!! They sometimes have a white powder residue that can smudge the book!

            For some large series of books I have specialized bookmarks I use specific to the series (e.g. Discworld, Star Wars, Dark Tower). However, I usually just use a standard paper bookmark from booksellers and such for most books.

                Usually it's the book receipt. Yes, that's pathetic, I know.

                I think you could make some money by making a bookmark that is either fake bloody finger, or a Cthulhu head sticking up from your book. Cthulhu seems to be becoming a minor meme.

                  Not very interesting but I use whatever is laying around. I like to use actual bookmarks but a business card or a receipt works just as well.

                    I just saw a co-worker today using a piece of toilet paper for a bookmark. That's just wrong!

                        Maybe it was a shitty book. (I know, step away from the keyboard).

                          Oh man Brad, that was a terrible joke. I laughed non-the-less though.

                            No! It was "In Cold Blood". Even more of an injustice.

                              Took me forever to find this thread, but I knew it was here somewhere...

                              This came with my last package from Nightshade. (I think it's a sticker.)

                                My current bookmark is the stuff they give out at Half Price Books. I've gotten several and know I'll get more, so I'll probably go with that for a while. Forgot all about this thread, lol
