I usually don't like the spine of my books to be broken that's why i'm always careful while reading. i also dont like to dog-ear the pages of the book and i don't always have a bookmark handy so everytime i pause or got distracted by something while reading, I end up closing the book unmark and then have to scan the pages to pick up where i left off. what about you? what are your book and reading fetishes?

Good day to you ella

I'm not really a bookworm but I only read book which I think are interesting to read like angels & demons as well as Da vinci Code those controversial book.

Yeah I sometimes do a dogear on some of my books hehehe I am not really concern on my books. One of my book entitled Tuesday's with was a very nice book but when I was reading the book accidentally It was wet by my cup og coffee not my book is very fat and it's bulging but still I enjoy reading it. I also used bookmarks like when I'm eating a candy the wrapper will serve as my bookmark.

Hello vopols! thank you for joining this discussion. I have read da vinci code and angels and demons too, but i like the latter better. have you read brown's latest novel, The Lost Symbol? i did not quite like it..

If a book of mine got soaked up by coffee, i will still love it too and i will enjoy the aroma of coffee while reading. lol.

hahaha! i hope can also do that in my books, using candy wrappers as bookmarks! the closest thing i did is to use ten peso and twenty peso bills as bookmarks ^_^

Hi Ella_1, I am, sorry to say, guilty of all the things you hate. I used to buy my books and I would be so careful about the spine but it would eventually get broken from everyone borrowing and reading them. I usually get my books from the library now and I dog-ear my pages. What's funny is that I make sure to un-dog-ear (I think that's a word) each time that I move on and that when the book is returned to the library it is dog-ear free. What drives me crazy is sometimes when I get a book from the library and I go to find my dog-ear, someone else forgot to smooth theirs out and I get confused about what I'm reading because I'm not on the right page. Other than that I don't like if someone in my family tries to read the book the same time I am. For example, if I put the book down and I go out, someone picks it up and starts to read it, and then I come home and they don't want to give the book up etc. That drives me crazy too.

hey linachina! Thank you for joining this discussion and sharing your insights. i can totally relate to you about the book being read by a family member at the same time. you can't help but be irritated. lol. sometimes i try pleading and coaxing for my sister to let me first finish reading the book. lol.

i don't really hate broken spines but i will get sad (for a moment) if they did get broken. but i can move on ^_^


Happy Mylotting!!

I can't read a book that has had the cover torn off. I don't like for the spine to be broken (like yourself). If the cover of the book doesn't look interesting, I won't even turn the book over to see what it is about. I absolutely hate it when someone has read the book before me and written in it. I get that at the library all of the time.
