Weekly Geeks: Mark it Down

Do you use bookmarks or just grab whatever is handy to mark your page? Do you collect lots of different bookmarks or do you have a favorite one that you use exclusively? If you're not someone who uses bookmarks on a regular basis, have you ever used anything odd to mark your place?


Ill-treating, a book, any book is kind of sacrilege for me. It does not matter whose book is it. I do not dog-ear books. I do use book marks. Mostly which are available in the bookstores. In my younger years, I even made a few bookmarks which still are huge hit with my family and friends.

My brother got me a leather bookmark long time back. I use it often. I also have a sandalwood carved bookmark. It leaves a pleasant smell if I use it. My mom gave me a silver one too. I seldom use it. I am scared of losing that. I won't say I collect bookmarks, though.

As I carry books, there is always a bookmark within that book. In the rare ocassion, I use paper napkins, loose change, hair clips, my mobile phone or anything I can lay me hands on. But dog-earing? No way!
