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

I’m all over the board.
Chaotic Evil would be ripping out every page you’ve read.
Hey Satan, nice to hear from you! Welcome to the chat!
Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file
Ugh, I feel unrepresented. I sort of remember where I was, read a bit to see if I recognize it, and then skip a little forward or backwards depending. I have definitely skipped entire chapters before because the style/sentences sounded like what I remember.
I fold dog ears everywhere, in variable sizes. The bigger the dog ear, the more important the passage.
Chaotic good. I have bookmarks, I just forget to use them.
I have a very old book (published in 1794) that has leaves, spiders, some writing, as well as fire and water damage. Not worth anything in the condition it’s in, but it’s mine and I love it. I’ve always wanted to know why there were spiders in it, but I’m thankful it’s not bound in human leather.
Save for a few I bought second hand, and the first book I ever owned (I managed to have it signed by the author 20 years later) the rest of my books look like they are fresh off a bookstore shelf.
I’m pretty sure the story of the book spiders began with: “a spider walked onto the page.”
Just a reminder that you shouldn’t put plants in your book – seriously, that can ruin the paper.
You’re right, plant material is going to decompose if there is any trace of humidity in the air and there goes your page… I just stick a thin slice of smoked ham in there
You can laminate leafs if you really want to keep having that fall theme going
Not really worth it, in my opinion.
Chaotic Good, or I’m just listening to an audio book.
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.
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.
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.
I’m true neutral if I have a bookmark. I’m chaotic evil if I don’t.
But what alignment are you if you use those colored tabs to bookmark several things at once? Those are what I’ve used most often because that’s for work shit… Like research and what not. I don’t need to keep my place, I need to know what I might be referencing a lot.
Burning the page you just finished reading so you can read the next page, while standing there in a dark labyrinth
where a minotaur is lurking.oh, my. Now that’s hardcore reading
You don’t memorize the page number, you just sort of remember where you are and find it
Me whenever lose my bookmark thinking it’s the worst thing to happen to me, my book is ruined, and then I find my exact spot in 6.4 seconds.
Is that chaotic lawful?
Ok Satan
Hi there, it’s called ADHD, kill me :)
We might need a 3rd axis for this, I feel it can be connected to any of these 🤔
3d alignment chart would actually solve as many problems as it causes. I’m into it
deleted by creator
I have done it all except leaving it face down
I used an eraser to keep track of it, had a bookmark that I used, and I actually used a pencil to keep track of where the sentence was, and don’t even ask me about Adam Smith’s wealth of nations where I quite literally did math on the pages with the charts and scribbled page numbers to keep track of shit
