In the book "Onyx" by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the narrator reflects on their affection for books and the importance of preserving them. They express a strong disdain for folding pages, which they consider an act of disrespect to the art of reading. Instead, they prefer marking their place in a more respectful manner, highlighting their love for maintaining the integrity of the book.

This perspective underscores a deeper connection between the reader and the text, where the act of reading is not just about the story but also about respecting the physical form of literature. By avoiding any alterations to the pages, they honor the book as a cherished object and symbol of knowledge.
