Books are nice when they're worn and visibly read, better than when they look like they're straight off the shelf at Waterstones

A bookmark,it's a really old one and one my Grandmother gave me, one of the only times she grabbed me by the ear was when I folded a page in a book I was reading,I have never folded a page in any book since.

I know, it's bad... but I just lose bookmarks or they fall out. Also MTVN is right, books look better when they are a bit scuffed up.

I do keep them nice and tidy in my bookcase when I'm not reading them tho

Same. I like little bookshops were you can browse through all the shelves at your leisure, waiting for something to catch your eye and make you read it. And you get the smell of books too, you don't get that with electronic books.

I try and remember the page number or the chapter, which has resulted in me being spoiled quite a few times, though I do remember more often than not.

Nope, I'm going to make an origami crane that will peck at you all.

Thanks to Niall I can actually make one of them now too.

Yeah me too, it's a shame that book shops seem to be slowly dying out, and most left now are all Waterstones or WH Smith
