Via Maud Newton comes this article by Christopher Howse, in which he confesses to ripping out finished pages from cheap paperbacks while traveling.
About a year ago, I started reading Gotham, a 1,424-page history of New York City. Unfortunately, my prime-time for reading is during my commute, and I found that carrying around such a large brick makes for uncomfortable travel.
One solution would be to rip out about 100 pages at a time and just carry those sheaves around, but I still can’t quite allow myself to rip up a book, even for the purpose of easier reading.
