These are simply my favorite kind of books! Well
thumbed…well read…well loved! I know, some people hate it, when you do that to
books…I have several friends who make it a point to gift me a dozen bookmarks
(instead of books!) But I choose to ignore them! (After this confession, none
of them will ever lend me a book!)
It is not that I don’t try it…you know, to keep the books
pristine and untouched (!) But I keep on losing the bookmarks! Then I use pens,
my spectacles, another book…(At least I am not as bad as the person who had
used an omelet as a book mark!)
Besides, folding a page feels satisfactory…it means that the
book is truly mine!
Perhaps that is why I haven’t bought a Kindle yet! After
all, you cannot fold a Kindle, right?
That is the exact same reason I don't own a kindle as well!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! I do have a Nook Color, however and you can't fold it's corner down either. I do that with real books all the time!

ReplyDeleteEven I don't own a kindle for the same reason:)
ReplyDeleteBut keeping an omlette as a book mark... OMG! Had me in splits!

Oh no, I could not fold the pages in a book! Even the thought makes me shudder. I prefer a nice bookmark (and occasionally a receipt or a bit of notepaper) I do like dog-eared covers on books, however, because it tells me that they have been well loved.
