Weird Reading Habits

hi ajlasent. yeah, i would say that those are peculiar habits. i don't buy books now as often as i did before. i either download the either thing or stay at a bookstore and spend time trying to read the complete thing without having to buy it. yes... yes... i'm that sc*mbag who won't fork my hard-earned money to purchase the book that i want. perhaps that the weirdest reading habit that i have, staying at bookstores for countless hours just so i can finish reading a book for free. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

Wow, that really is weird!

hi ajlasent oh my you will yell at me then as my weird habit is to turn down the top of the page where I left off reading. well darn they are my books and i bought them and paid for them and i reread them a lot. I ha ve never smelled a book and I am afraid my roomie would think I was going bananas if I started now,.I reread my favorites often and I am a great Stephen King fan so those are my weird habits. I do not turn down the pages of a library book though.

Hi ajlasent! We're the same in some habits. I like smelling book pages as well and I don't want to stretch the spine too much as I feel the books cry quietly when I do! I don't know when I started the habit of smelling books but I know that I feel so happy whenever I smell them! They seem so clean! One of my weird habits is that I look at the front cover from time to time. I don't know why I do that but I do that every after chapter I also have a weird habit in reading magazines, I always start at the back. Now, this may not be weird for Japanese.

That is so funny because I do the same thing, except for covering the hard covers with a towel. I have never done that, but with the soft covers, I don't open them anymore than 90 degree angle either so they will lay flat when I put them down and it won't crease the spine. I also smell the pages of new books. It's like a new car smell, you just have to take a whiff! Lol =)
