    Oh, god! I love IT!!!!

    It's either I completely split the binding, or I fight with reading my books through a tiny opening so as to not demolish or crease the bind!

    Ordering 2, right now! Thanks ohgizmo!

    sounds like something someone could be sued for.

    here's what you do: index and middle finger behind the book, and then thumb, ring and pinky finger in front of the book (or any variant of this). tada! and it's free.

    Anonymous 11.30pm - what kind of magic hand do you have that enables you to do that comfortably? besides, it's only $4, sheesh.

    As an English Major, you have given my life meaning. Lit-geeks unite and bathe in the Faulkneresque glory of The Thumbthing!

    Could it be used to hold other things open with a single thumb as well?

    I always used the one-hand method before, but it makes my hand cramp after a few hours. This is awesome.

    HOOOLLLYYY SHIIIIIIT this is the COOLEST THING EVER!! I am totally serious i love this thing, i totally want one! I wish I had though of it it's so fucking smart. My friend LOVES to read but she always looks uncomfortable just a bit because you HAVE to hold the book all weird when you read for that long and your arms get tired. but now you can just use this thing and hold it with one hand and your other hand is free. THAT IS GENIUS!

    anyway, i also love how the responses range from one complete extreme to the other. you've got the intellectuals and hard core readers who realize its genius, and you've got the clowns who are looking to get a laugh and say Holy shit that's gay (because really, it kindof is! but that doesn't mean it's fucking awesome!) hahaha good times were had by all

    oh yeah and i'm totally going to buy two of these :D
