I decided about 20 years ago I wasn't going to use bookmarks anymore. If I can't find where I was, I need to reread from whatever I recognize. If I can't figure out a place to drop in and understand what's going on, I should just start over from the beginning (it'll probably be faster the second time anyway.) I also really hate dogears; they crack off in about 10 years or so.
