I started a new book yesterday (Tribes by Seth Godin), and I noticed something strange about myself when I was done reading. I didn’t have a bookmark handy (usually I use a piece of paper or business card), and I didn’t know what to do.
Oh, I know what you’re thinking: just fold down the edge of the page! And I did think about doing that. Three times, I reached for the edge of the page, to fold it down, only to pull away. FINALLY, I forced myself to fold over the page — barely enough to notice — and set the book down.
This morning, every time I look over at the book, I feel like I’ve ruined it. It’s just wrong to do that to a book.
Yeah, I’m a freak.
Do you have any quirks?
