  • I accidentally gave away my trusty dusty wooden bookmark and after trying my best to use something else to save my spot in my book, it was clear: a wood bookmark is the way to go.
    Join me as I journey deep down the Colorado River to find the perfect bookmark branch and turn it into a bookmark.

    It seems like you finally found a good solution to your bookmark problem, but… have you considered just tearing out each page as you finish reading it? Then you always know what page is next: the first one that is still in the book!

      I do this, however, if I read late at night when tired, I sometimes forget what I previously read, and one can't refresh one's memory by reading the pages before.

    @t.j.armendariz354 Год назад

    I think the solution to the brittleness is stabilizing resin, you place the bookmark in a dish of it in a vacuum chamber, pull the vacuum and let it soak in as it cures (or a penetrating resin you pour over would work similarly) getting in it and hardening it

    Great reading material. I had an English professor for my environmental writing class kind of subtly suggest The Monkey Wrench Gang to us all while insisting that doing illegal things was bad and wrong, but that literature is important. But if we read the book, we should definitely *not* take any ideology or strategy from it. Apparently somebody at some school got in trouble for having it, so it made sense that he was weird about it. But he definitely knew what he was doing.
