Ah...I think theres a small list worth of those in my head. I read half lying down, even though I get yelled for it often enough. I dogear many many books if theres no bookmark nearby. I lay them upside down so the cover sometimes gets ruined. Uh....anymore....sometimes I tend to accidently mistreat them, like folding a corner of the cover on accident. But I've stopped dogearing for the moment and resorted to paper bookmarks.

I read a lot of Japanese style (right-to-left) manga so when I go to pick up an English style (left-to-right) I sometimes turn it over by accident.

this really isnt a bad habit per se, but I reread alot of stuff and tend to not try new stuff. Its hard to stop doing this because I wait for an author to come out with their newest work so I read everything they have done up till that point sweatdrop ninja thus...alot of rereading

Sometimes, when I'm reading, I tend to pull on book pages until they rip. sweatdrop So my Order of the Phoenix has a bunch of ripped corners.

I carry my books in my backpack with lots of other stuff, so they get worn looking fast. I fold them too much, and I dog-ear the pages. Sometimes I will write in them (only in pencil). I'll sometimes read in the bath. I usually have a book or two on my nightstand, and so my waterglass sometimes rests on my books...

Well, I ruin it for myself sometimes. I will read something all in one night. For me that just like ruins the whole thing. It's so much more fun to read it from time to time for me.

I read in the shower. Does that count? Yeah, it runs up the water bill, but I've figured out just where to hold the book so it doesn't get wet!


ok...that's a pretty bad habit but making me tempted to try it...

My bad habit: I buy the book, before buying I read a paragraph from the middle of the book. and then after buying I read the last line of the last paragraph of the last chapter of the book.

Well...this isnt a habit really, but I walked 6 miles to borrow a book from a friend. Just FYI I live in San Antonio, Texas and it is very hot here sweatdrop Why I went at 5, I will never know, but I did...the sun was really big xp

I glimpse up at the page number constantly like I'm impatient.
i do that too! plus when i get to a really suspensful part i set the book down for a bit becuase its too much for me. i also procrastinate when i read a book and read through the night. i do the dim light thing but who hasn't. there's more but they've been covered already im sure.
Yah, I've done all that too. >.<

I dog ear them constantly, because I never use bookmarks. I leave them facedown with the spines open, I fiddle with the pages so the edges are all wrinkled, I use them to get dirt out from under my nails, I eat while I read (and i'm a slob), I dog ear pages with quotes I like or spelling/grammer mistakes, I flip them over in the air with my feet, I let my hamsters chew the spines, AND I doodle on them if I have a pencil in my hand.

I am a book-killer.
