It's nice to find people I can relate to, because everyone thinks that I am weird that I don't use a bookmark.

I've tried them, and I just don't like something sticking out of the book. It's almost as if the important thing is how much of the book has been read rather than reading the book.

I doubt if we should worry about who thinks we're weird. I, for one, have been dealing with it all my life.

I fold the page back or remember the page.

Well sometimes it's a bookmark, sometimes a piece of paper, an important document that shouldn't be lost, a stick, a blade of grass...

I either use a piece of paper, or remember the page I'm on.

If I forget if wanting to remember the page, I flick through the book until I eventually remember the page I'm on.

I might use a bookmark if one is provided (e.g. In the Hitchhiker's Guide anthology).

Yes, though the tend to be improvised. (An empty envelope, an old bus transfer, a scrap of paper.)

I use a bookmark and I have a great collection of bookmarks. I like the tassels. One has a pic of Agatha Christie, another has Kurt Vonnegut. Another has notes, and a tiny piano on the tassel. Or just something nice, like the ocean.

I use a bookmark because I often read 2 or 3 books at a time. If I'm only reading one book, sometimes I'll go with out one. OMG, I thought I was the only one who did this. Numbers stick in my head better than color or shape.

My bookmark is a printed circuit board that's been cut to have a flap. My mom gave it to me when I was 13, so there is an emotional attachment to it.

I remember making a bookmark once! It had all the main characters of the OutcasT series on it, and I got my mum to laminate the slip of paper. She came back telling me the laminater guy loved my drawings!

I don't use a bookmark. I always end up losing the bookmark, and in the process, my page.

Whenever I try to use a bookmark I forget to move it when I'm done reading and I end up reading the same thing over again the next time I pick up the book. So, I just memorize the page number.
