I am currently using the sleeve to Ant and Dec - The Hits, which got me a few funny looks at the launderette.

Whatever random piece of paper is to hand, though I have a few formal ones.

Dude, I just fold corners, how lame are bookmarks?

Astounding! Actually never got my MA diploma, I figure one day I'll go over to the building next to mine and ask.

Usually receipts. My mother used to be a librarian and said that she found someone's wage packet and a rasher in bacon inside returned books.

― MarkH, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

receipts, university enrollment forms, other books, the remote control... lots of other things. I am too lazy to own a bookmark, but cant stand folding the corners of pages

A cow.

Not a real one, it's plastic.

"A Bukowski postcard and a Tori Amos "Strange Little Girls" postcard."

Speaking of which, I read an extremely lame-ass review of Strange Little Girls on a website recently. Inexplicably, it concluded that by covering songs written by men, it's "blatantly obvious" that the songs don't come from the heart. So basically you're incapable of empathising with emotions expressed by someone of a different gender. What absolute crap! The review was obviously written by someone who HAS no heart.

Of "I Don't Like Mondays", the reviewer crassly states "Why pick a song which every member of the working class can relate to?" Uh, because it's actually about a schoolgirl who kills her classmates.

There should be a law against clueless people writing about music. I don't like Mondays either when I have to read trash like that. Grrrr.

― Trevor, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just remember the page number.

― toraneko, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have four books on the go at the moment. One has a chewing gum wrapper in it and another has a flyer for a Belle & Sebastian after show party in Glasgow. The other two have proper bookmarks, one from Haigh & Hochland, which used to be the university bookshop in Manchester, and the other from the Tattered Cover in Denver.

― Madchen, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Strangely enough I use exactly the same flyer that Madchen uses, that's currently in Time travel by John Savage while I'm on page 57 in the Tony Cascarino biography, so I don't need a bookmark, I can usually remember which page I'm on.

― chris, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I will just fold the corner or use a post it note if I happen to have one near by. I am cruel to my books...

― Nicole, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

usually i am quite good at remembering the page number but i'm reading about 4 different ones at the mo, so it's Sainsbury's shopping receipts and spare Strange Fruit flyers (of which we have an abundance) for me!

― katie, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I use a bookmark. Am I some kind of fucking freak?

― Nick, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Depends what you use it for, Nick. ;-)
