A lot of things can be inserted between [book pages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dehydrating-book) to help you remember where you left off in the story, but none are as entertaining as the Book ‘Mark’ by Suck UK.

Poor Mark is simply forced into his own demise from the chest down. The quirky [page tracker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/books-tracker) is shown as flat as a pancake from chest to toes and still inflated throughout the rest of his body (whatever is not crushed).

It’s a playful idea and actually quite amusing. Nice to add a funny element into the joyful [world of reading](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novelquest).
