Bookmarks.

This is my system for establishing a place marker in the various books on my plate at any given time.

I sit down someplace to read the book until I tire of reading. Then I look around and find something small and flat to stick in the book. Just about anything goes. One book is marked by a 2 inch strip of rubber that I found on the ground. Another book is marked by what I found in my back pocket: a ticket stub from an arena football game recently attended.

The idea is that I cannot get up to find something to mark my place in the book. It has to be something small and flat and easily reached. A nice reminder of where I started the book. When I finish it, I throw out the bookmark.

The end.
