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

Lawful evil. If I'm just reading through a book and can't remember where I left off, it's probably not a book worth coming back to. Bookmarks are exclusively for passages I want to come back to after I've finished the book - in those cases it's usually just a scrap of paper.

And then there is Billy Boyd's method, which is so evil it is off the chart.

I'm not sure who would stop reading in the middle of a page/paragraph (neutral good), but if I were to do that, I'd have re-read the whole page.

[-] Sybilvane@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I do this. Sometimes I read in really short bursts, like for the length of an elevator ride. I don't mark it though, I just remember where I left off. I do this so much it's become easy to just get right back into the story even mid paragraph.

Ebooks for my dyslexia, when you're so chaotic you circle back around to lawful.

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

I guess I'm chaotic good when I'm not just listening to audiobooks, but I like to find a Magic card that fits the general vibe of the book.

For example, I chose Lost in a Labyrinth for House of Leaves

Chaotic Good +, I usually end up making a bookmark at my desk by folding and taping paper or a post-it

[-] JasminIstMuede 2 points 2 days ago

Here to represent lawful evil. Don't know when I used a bookmark the last time >:)

[-] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] Corno@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file

[-] marius@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

Right now I actually use my eBook as a boommark for my paper book. What category is that?

[-] OpenStars@piefed.social 5 points 3 days ago

I use old Christmas cards:-)🎄

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Small post-it notes

That way when I get distracted by another book, I can leave the mark right there. Considering I'm always "in the middle of" at least five books, this is the best solution I've found.

I use old Zimbabwean money.

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

Chaotic good and neutral evil. Don't do neutral evil

[-] beefbot 3 points 3 days ago

Sorry but the whole chart is misaligned here. Lawful good is dog-earing the page: it requires zero extra items and uses the structure of the book itself, and it doesn’t get in the way like a (shudder) ribbon does.

All others are chaotic evil options that get in the way of reading

What's neutral+neutral evil+chaotic good?

I have been known for the occasional psychotic break 🤔

[-] LuckingFurker 3 points 3 days ago

Over my life I've gone from neutral evil to chaotic evil to chaotic good and now am lawful neutral

[-] Ashiette@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I'm neutral evil

[-] Octrom@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

This is delightful, thank you for sharing.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 2 points 3 days ago

I try my best to never stop mid-chapter so I don't relate to any of this.

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

I read through this top left to bottom right and did NOT expect to find myself in the last panel. Yes I'm a monster

[-] Zorsith 2 points 3 days ago

I used to be before ebooks. Lots of toilet paper bookmarks.
