@@polyMATHY_Luke A strange vid but why not. Dealing with books is a nice thing. I'm completely bibliophillic xD I just use the "normal" commercial bookmarks and make them on a side. This side is the side of the book where I stopped reading. If I'm getting that distracted to even forget to put in the book mark it must be a serious event. Like, the house is burning or something xD
It reminds me of the old circular medieval bookmarks for Bibles with 4 columns of text. You could rotate it to read "prima, secunda, etc" so you knew which column you were reading. You could also slide them up and down on the string so you knew where on the page you were vertically.
As a fellow bookmark maker, though, I need inch and a half wide bookmarks for notes, can't resist. Especially grammar texts, "pg. 77, preps w/dative", "Inna and its sisters, 144, ff." Seeing all line starts on a page used to bother me, too, until the Second Vatican Council took "Intentional Concealment of Text, in part or completely, by other materials" off the list of mortal sins. A great time (and soul) saver! Thanks for your continued intense polymathy.
I’ve never given bookmarks much thought, but when reading anything except simple narrative books, I summarize everything I read as I feel I understand and remember it better. It definitely makes reading more tedious some times but it has definitely helped my comprehension immensely. Thanks for the great videos!
I've always used a similar technique, but rather than marking a bookmark, I just place it so that the front is facing the page I left off on. I kind of want to make a bookmark with an adjustable arrow so I can also point to the line or paragraph I left off on, which would be convenient.
I do the same. As for paragraphs, if I don’t finish at the end of the chapter, I will either read until I get to the start of the first new para on the page, or until I get to the last paragraph on the page. If it’s the last para, I turn the bookmark upside-down and face it towards that page, with the bookmark poking out the bottom of the page. 😀 I reject claims this is proof of OCD.😀
What I’ve been doing is using a playing card as my book mark. In addition I lay it sideways in line with what ever paragraph I left off on. I make it a bit of a rule to never end reading mid paragraph.
I use post-its (the small kind), myself, and stick the bookmark to the page I'm on. They're just big enough to peek over the top, and small enough to be out of the way in the margin. Those peeking out the side are semi-permanent, those peeking out the top are temporary so I can keep my place.
I liked your bookmarks i tend fold a little bit the page that I'm reading to remind myself where I was the next day 😅 but now I want to have own bookmarks
You have a great delivery, i'm fascinated by good shots of hands doing stuff, staying focussed on small things that are worth their time, not too much time, still. “Why are we here anyway?”? As always, Luke. Valē !
This was great, Luke! I am going to have to steal this idea :-) I typically use paper scraps and put one or two words of the subject on the top so I know what was in the book that I liked. I am a subject indexer though by trade so perhaps this is why I do that. lol. I hadn't thought of using a more permanent marker (15 years- wow!) pointing to left or right. Hope you have a good day/ weekend - enjoy the fresh blanket of snow!
What a tidy organized guy. One of the amazing things about Umberto Eco is that he also read, loved and collected comic books; he actually appeared in several comics just for this reason. It was also funny the impersonation Fiorello did of him.
My best bookmarks are magnetic. You can't leave them in the book while reading, BUT you can place them exactly where you stop and find the right line immediately when you pick up the book again.
Damn, this really does look nicer. I just use an old receipt from a grocery store as a bookmark, haha. I also tend to end my reading sessions in specific spots like at the end of a chapter, so the next time I pick up the book I remember to just start from the beginning of the newest chapter.
I have a system for my bookmarks too! I always use receipts for mine in order to protect the binding and always place it on the previous page so that it doesn't cover text and i never have to remove it. It may seem odd to not place it on the page your're marking lol but it's consistent and works, I've done it for years.
I use cue card paper as my bookmarks. I've found that they can be used as a ruler to underline something in the book and when I finish reading all I have to do is copy the underlined parts onto the cue card itself and add the references.
Honestly, starting when I was in middle school, I just decided "I'll remember the page every time" and funnily enough it actually worked for me, it just involved me taking a second to look at page number and associate it with the book in my head. Now if you're browsing through several of them at once, your technique might actually come in handy, unfortunately I now mostly work with digital material ^^'
The amazing technique to do the bookmarking, this is pure genius. I will follow your example for sure 😊😊 Currently I'm reading a book " The Early History of Rome" by Titus Livius or Livy.
I’ve read Familia Romana, Colloquia Personarum and Fabulae Syrae. I’m not sure if it’s Roma Aeterna’s turn already or I should have more reading practice (Orberg’s Amphitryo, De Bello Gallico, etc) before taking any new grammar.
Have you considered having an "ex libris"? It's an old costume that's mostly lost because personal libraries are on the rare side nowadays (many people sell or exchange their books after a while. What I consider almost a sin!). I do have a rubber ex libris stamp (as did my grandfather, from which I inherited many books and the love for reading) and I must say that seeing that stamp fills me with a certain kind of joy and nostalgia.
I actually write my name in Latin or Greek, ad libitum, and the date that I received or bought the book. That might be worth a short video. Remind me to do that.
I love your technique of finding pages, personally ; I used to turn the corners in with my books on twitching ; but it just makes sense cuz that ruined my books !!
The Name of the Rose is such a lovely book! I remember staying up late to see what would happen next. Is it your first time reading it? How are you finding it?
Hi Luke, happy 2022! Is there any chance you could do an interview with Tom Hiddleston? It would be a great video, and I bet he'd jump at the chance to talk to you, he's all about Greek & Latin literature and probably has very few people to discuss it with. Keep up the great work, your videos are awesome!
Interesting but I shall persist with my folding system - the bottom corner denotes location, the top corner denotes future reference. n.b, I'm also a heretical spine bender.
I use an index card --- on which I make the occasional note. I insert the card high, middle, or low with the side containing most writing facing my high, middle, or low departure point. I don't color-code, though.
I found this so hilarious!! lately I use a pack of mini post-it notes as a (thick) bookmark because instead of writing in a book (which I was raised not to do by my librarian mom) i tear off a strip of post it (actually, light yellow mini size "Highland self stick notes") and mark the edge of the page where I want to make a note. I can also write on the post-its. I can use wider or narrower strips of post-it. i see in your "Polis" book you have post its too. Using something as thick as a post it note pad is far from ideal, but since I actually use those notes constantly with the type of research reading I am doing, it works for me.
I use printed bookmarks, which usually have a printed side and a blank side. And I keep the printed side facing the page I stopped at, so it's a similar result as yours, but a different approach :)
It's just seems so obvious to make them fit the margins and mark them especially for the book they're being used for... Especially for an unorganised slob like me lol. But I also like making things and painting and I have thick paper so hmm..... Cheers Luke.
Λουκά, somehow, you managed to fill 13 minutes and 30 seconds talking about homemade bookmarks, albeit of different colours, and 1 or 2 dots to denote what side you had left off reading on, but still, homemade bookmarks. Now that’s talent!! 😎🤣 Nα είσαι καλά και ευχαριστώ για όλα τα βίντεο σου!
For a while now I've used bookmarks with a clear top. If it's sticking out the top of the book, I'm on the first page (left page for left to right languages, right page for right to left languages), but if it's upside down, I'm on the second page. I'm paranoid about ink from a bookmark transferring onto a book.
I have a bookmark that has different faces that also has a ruler on it and what page it is facing tells me which page it is on, and wetter it is up or down plus the ruler tells me which paragraph
Thank you for making a wonderful video I didn't even know I needed! :)

So you use one dot (an odd number of dots) to mark even pages, and two dots (an even number of dots) to mark odd pages. There is an obvious flaw in this. :)
I'm sorry but beside your tips for us I'm fascinated by the fact that you can read Ars Amatoria like I can read an italian novel (I'm italian). I mean, I've studied latin literature in high school but your knowledge about it must be like 20 times mine
Do you move the bookmark as you turn the page, or do you keep it in one place until you're finished? I'm guessing the former, as you claim that all you have to do if you get distracted is to close the book. However, isn't it a hassle to constantly move the bookmark?
Love it when a book is all worn out, sticky notes on every other page and smudges on the side from brushing over it with your fingers so many times. That means you've devoured a book 😁
Hi I was wondering if that Greek Grammar book by Herbert Weir Smith could help with learning Modern Greek? Or if the book is strictly ancient greek, have you any textbook recommendations for learning modern?
I'm pretty anal about bookmarks too! I used Smyth in college but I'm sure you already know that Cambridge has a new Greek Grammar that in many ways supersedes Smyth: Boas, Rijksbaron, Huitink, and Bakker, eds., *The Cambrdige Grammar of Classical Greek* (Cambridge University Press 2017).
@@PhilipLeFou I was thinking he could put a little horizontal line or notch on the bookmark and then move it up or down depending on the sentence where he left off. In this case, I guess you would just want to make sure the bookmark is tall enough so that it always sticks out from either the top or the bottom of the book.
Not really related to bookmarks, just a question to fellow book readers. I've recently bought a book, it's of a rather small size, softcover. And when I'm reading it, I can't see a part of the left page, because the book is built that way. The only way to deal with it is to press the page very hard, but then the book never closes and it's always in that embarassing half-open state, so I have to put it between other books. Any advice?
I abandoned bookmarks years ago, I don't know why, they're just too annoying for me to use them. I would forget them somewhere, or they would fall out of the book I was reading, and I grew to hate them. Instead I just open the book back to about where I remember I left off. I've not used bookmarks for so long I forgot they exist and that people use them.

Very good technique. But what I noticed in this video is some of your books. In particular, the "Polis: speaking ancient Greek as living language". If the book is what the title suggests then I had no idea that such a book existed. I thought that extinct languages are taught in a very dry way (through endless drills in grammar and syntax). Wish I could ask you about this book as well as similar ones. (Yes, I know, when we say ancient Greek, what exactly do we mean? Which period?) Ευχαριστώ πολύ Λουκά.
Oh yes! Thousands of people around the world speak Ancient Greek fluently. See my other videos and my other channel ScorpioMartianus. Ancient Greek is everything pre-Byzantine/Mediaeval, and ranges from Homer 8cBC to Justinian 6cAD. Generally the 5cBC Classical Authors and all the 4cBC-6cAD Kline authors are placed into the curriculum of Ancient Greek.
