Page edges turning gray

I was wondering if there was someone who could shed some insight into a problem I have with reading books.

Every time I buy a brand new, fresh book, I marvel at how clean and pristine it looks. I can't wait to open its shiny new cover and dive into the pages. But every time I read a book, the page edges turn an ugly gray color the further I get into it; you can see right up to where I stopped reading because the unread pages are still white and the read pages are dirty. I've tried everything I can to remedy this problem: washing my hands, keeping them off the pages, holding the book in different ways. But it always ends up the same result. I'm embarrassed to give away or donate my used books because they're so dirtied up.

I guess my question is, why does this happen? And is there a way to prevent it?

it happens because you have oil on your skin, you cant do anything unless you want to read books wearing latex gloves

and nobody cares about fucking dirty pages

I once fucked a dirty page. I got papercuts all over my dick. Feels good man.

You're reading a brand of particularly compelling fiction which causes the material to phase-shift into a realm of entropic decay. This leaves a film of gray un-matter on the text as the nexus of your minds comprehension interacting with the printed word opens a temporary portal to this not-world of chaos and un-being.
