Making a Multi-threaded Bookmark

From the D*I*Y Planner:

"Picture this, you’re reading a book and you come across a passage or
page that you want to recall for later. Maybe it’s for your college
studies, or maybe it’s a recipe you want to cook up later in the week.
As you continue reading, you find YET ANOTHER passage you want to mark.
What do you do?

So, you hunt down for a slip of paper, maybe you remove it from your
planner or notebook. Or you grab a sticky note and start jotting down
notes and comments about the pages you’re bookmarking. Then the nagging
starts. Slowly and silently at first… appearing in the farthest
corner in the back of your mind. That environmentalist guilt trip that
reminds you that all this paper, those sticky notes, will do nothing to
help the environment. That using more paper just creates more waste.
That you’ll lose the slips and lose your place and never find it again.
There, you sit… paper in hand, wishing there was a better alternative
to keeping track of multiple spots than using junk mail, index cards or
sticky notes.

One bookmark cannot possibly hold two places, right? Wrong. Instead
of ripping up valuable sticky notes that you’ll trash or recycle later,
why not create a multi-threaded bookmark to save your places in those
books…"

    I make dog-ears.

    My books may be read, reread, alive. And it’s always a pleasure to look into my books again and discover which passages I liked at that time.

    I use scrap paper, bookstore bookmarks, and Post-its, as this photo attests:

    It’s Proust’s The Guermantes Way.

    I am all for saving paper, although the huge amounts of books I own would Scream otherwise, but i must confess … stickie-notes rock. And there are so many nifty kinds and colors and shapes and uses and … yeah. I am an addict.

    I can’t bear to damage a book, so I opt for bookdarts:
