Reply to comment by Sliver_wolf_1999 in why do people get mad over dog-earing books? by Sliver_wolf_1999

😂 Yeah, it seems obvious, but my smooth brain didn't think of it either!

Dog earing isn't too bad though. I was listening to a podcast once, and a guy on there said that while he was reading IT by Stephen King he ripped each page he finished out, and threw it away because he wanted the book to get smaller as he went on. That's some psychopath stuff, haha.

I saw a post of books cut in pieces, so that the owner doesn't have to carry a whole heavy book. Still not sure if it was a joke

I heard about someone who would tear off a few chapters of a paperback (that they own obviously!) so that they can pass the torn part along to friends and family who also want to read it and are eager to start !!!

This was years ago and I still cringe at the thought!

Lol, this made me laugh. Well, they can do whatever they want with their property, I use bad books as a flower press, despite having two real flower presses lol, so I'm no saint either

Only bad books though, right? I like my books in good shape but not as if untouched!
