Are Your Book-reading Habits WOKE?
When reading a book, how do you turn to another page?
I don’t know, I don’t really think about it. Normally, I suppose?
I usually lick one or two fingers before flipping a page. Because TRACTION.
I gently pinch the edge of the page and lift, delicately laying the page on the opposite end of the book so as not to damage the page.
I place several fingers on the page’s surface and violently push it away, sometimes unintentionally taking a few extra pages with it.
How do you mark your current page, if at all?
Eh, I just lay the book open and face down. Or I forget to keep track altogether.
I use “proper” bookmarks for this purpose. Occasionally though, I use paper scraps lying around the house for the sake of convenience.
I actually don’t mark the page. I wouldn’t want to stress the binding of the book or leave indentations in the paper. Besides, what is working memory for anyway?
Dog-eared. Every page. Every time. Hate me.
Are there any creases to be found along the spines of books you’ve read?
Probably. I don’t do much to prevent that kind of thing. Besides, it’s the content of the book that matters, right?
Sometimes, though I try to avoid it if I can.
That would be ghastly! I’d sooner be caught dead than with a book open wider than 90 degrees.
Ha!! I’d be surprised if there
weren’t
creases, all things considered.
Have you ever taken a book to the bathroom? Be honest, dear reader.
That’s—a strange thing to assume of someone…
I am generally against the idea of that. But we all do it sometimes, right? Right?
No, and I am disgusted by those who would do such a thing.
Yeah, definitely! The bathroom is where it’s all at!
