When I read books I use white paper bookmarks so that I can jot down new words to look up. or pithy statements or clever insights worth quoting in TYWKWDBI. The best bookmarks are cut-up greeting cards, which have white expanses and the proper stiffness.
Embedded above is a scan of the top portion of a bookmark I recently found in a pocket while doing laundry. And to my dismay I had no idea what book I had been reading at the time, or how long ago. I can still look up words, but how to retrieve the "advice" from some page 61? (I had already decided to skip the "cure for lesbianism" on page 32).
Does anyone want to try to guess the book, based on the words harvested? Answer tomorrow.
