There are only two kinds of books that are truly loved - those pristine and undamaged, and those which look like they've been through the apocalypse

I'm not represented here. My two go-to's are powering through to the next chapter so I don't have to remember the page number, even though it's way too late, or using whatever random shit I can find to wedge into the book. Most recently it was a can of bullets.

Sorry but the whole chart is misaligned here. Lawful good is dog-earing the page: it requires zero extra items and uses the structure of the book itself, and it doesn’t get in the way like a (shudder) ribbon does.

All others are chaotic evil options that get in the way of reading

I'm not sure who would stop reading in the middle of a page/paragraph (neutral good), but if I were to do that, I'd have re-read the whole page.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I do this. Sometimes I read in really short bursts, like for the length of an elevator ride. I don't mark it though, I just remember where I left off. I do this so much it's become easy to just get right back into the story even mid paragraph.

Lawful evil. If I'm just reading through a book and can't remember where I left off, it's probably not a book worth coming back to. Bookmarks are exclusively for passages I want to come back to after I've finished the book - in those cases it's usually just a scrap of paper.

Ebooks for my dyslexia, when you're so chaotic you circle back around to lawful.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Over my life I've gone from neutral evil to chaotic evil to chaotic good and now am lawful neutral

What's neutral+neutral evil+chaotic good?

Ugh, I feel unrepresented. I sort of remember where I was, read a bit to see if I recognize it, and then skip a little forward or backwards depending. I have definitely skipped entire chapters before because the style/sentences sounded like what I remember.

I'm neutral evil

I'm re-reading Eye of the World for the first time in about 15 year and see both CG and CE going on in spades...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

As with tradition, chaotic good.

Chaotic evil here. Books exist to be read, anything you do to aid that endeavor is justifiable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Chaotic good and neutral evil. Don't do neutral evil

This is delightful, thank you for sharing.

I read through this top left to bottom right and did NOT expect to find myself in the last panel. Yes I'm a monster

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Lawful evil here since I have a habit of writing down reminders for random things on a notepad file

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I was in the memorizing the page number gang, but then I had to go on valprolates.

Where does using the flyleaf as a bookmark fall on the scale of evil?

I used to be before ebooks. Lots of toilet paper bookmarks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Here to represent lawful evil. Don't know when I used a bookmark the last time >:)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Same! I remember as a kid just deciding one day I would remember where I was at in a book, and ever since I've just... been able to remember.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Today I learned I'm neutral evil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I try my best to never stop mid-chapter so I don't relate to any of this.
