Claim the Bookmarks!

You know all those books you started and didn't finish and wanted to get back to it? Take those off your shelves.

Rules:

• If the bookmark is in the introduction or on the first page, claim the book mark and put it back on your shelf.
• Categorize them by how many pages you've read in the book by stacking them up like this:

Under 50 pages.
50 pages & up.
Over 100 pages.

And so on, and so forth by blocks of 50.
• Then go from the shortest pile and work your way up.

I have:

15 books under 50 pages.
5 books over 50 pages.
3 books over 100 pages.

Obviously I ran out of bookmarks.

I stopped worrying about them when I stopped pretending I was pursuing some organized course of study, but since I retired, I've cut a wide swath and, now I have a pile here, next to the math books that I never read any more.

So anyway, I have some spare bookmarks?
