Further Cofessions Of A Reader

I'll admit that I'm milking this a bit, but I thought of a few more habits I have when it comes to reading. And I enjoy hearing other people's habits...

I guess it is my fundamental belief that the book is subject to me not vice versa. I pound it into submission:

• I break the spine of books.I know that many people have strong feelings against that, but I like my books to lay flat, and can't stand when pages move, so at least every couple pages I'm breaking in another part of the book.
  
• I dog ear pages.
• I constantly mark in the book with pens, pencils, highlighters anything I can. I also keep a thin, 6 inch ruler for underlining in my books.
  
• I mark every word I don't understand then add it to my task list to look up on dictionary.com
• At the end of a book, I'll flip back through to see the things I marked, and I consider this the essential message of the book. Very subjective.

So those are all the other habits I have when I read.
