I read when I eat. So they inevitably get splattered by a bit of sauce or grease. A few years ago I'd go nuts about but now I just don't care; just wipe it off and keep going. I grumble more about the staining distracting me than the actual stain itself. I try to keep my art books clean though.

However, I never dog ear my books-- that just bugs me because it draws attention to a page when I don't want it to. I used to do the book in bath thing too and would leave my paperbacks in the bathroom and the steam did major water damage. I've long stopped doing that as the buckling got pretty annoying. I used scraps of paper I don't need that's within arm's reach like ripped pieces of paper, sticky-notes or magazine subscription cards as bookmarks.
