-- I do the same thing :-) Post it notes galore to mark the bits I want to go back to.> but.. one thing that drives my husband bonkers.. but something I *ave* to do.. is breaking the spines. Opening a brand new book for the first time, and breaking the spine always gives me a thrill.. Maybe thats why I don't like second hand books much..

-- LOL, I am a "spine breaker" as well! Pretty much the first thing I do when I start a new book. It's a must - a christening of sorts. A friend of mine always refused to loan me books because I break the spine. I don't know how she ever managed to read a book with it only opened a crack. There is not much that is more comforting than curling and cracking open a good . . . book :-)
> (ps.. my break from PB doesn't cover PB Books *L*)-- I'm glad to hear that, Nikki. Although I don't participate much on this board, I always enjoy reading your posts about your book experiences and your literary likes and dislikes.
