Nothing sentimental here, I'm afraid, just hard practicality; I use one of these: Gimble.
As I'm the sort of person who constantly carries a book around and tries to read while working, washing up, cooking, ect., my boyfriend got tired of seeing me use all sorts of household devices, cutlery, fruits, boxes and bottles to hold open my books. So he bought me these for my last birthday and so far they've been one of the best and most usefull gifts I've ever received!
