I don't anymore (I used to all the time). I tend to always have a bus ticket handy that I can mark a page with. If I don't, I'll dog-ear, but this is rare.
However.
I do break spines on purpose. That sentence just made me sound like a sociopath to anyone who didn't know I was talking about books. But I find long books hard to read without a broken spine, and I prefer a book to look well-read than to be pristine.

Even a piece of candy wrapper is better than damaging the pages. I find it irritating when the pages of my fave books are damaged.

MsLisa, you might try an elastic-style bookmark sometime! Even a good size ponytail holder, when looped around, would be easy to keep track of and can be put on your wrist while reading. Just a thought!MsLisa wrote: ↑23 Jun 2018, 11:37 I always do. For some reason I hate using bookmarks and received many of them because people know I like to read but I never used them for very long. It frustrates me to have to carry something else along with the book however small it might be, sometimes they slide out of the book and I lose my page and for me it's an unnecessary extra.
As for the original question, I never dog-ear; I use bookmarks and often with nonfiction will fold up scraps of paper or post-it notes to mark particular places.
