I love how my favourite books are all battered because I've read them so many times.
It adds character.

that I can handle
if they are just a bit scruffy from all the times I've read them and lent them to people. I love lending books to people when I know the book is brilliant and the person will really like it

Ah, I don't really like lending, unless I trust the person,
especially if it's one of my favourite books. I would never deliberately damage a book.

I wouldn't damage someone else's book
and my comment about cracking the spine should probably have said I'd do it if it makes the book easier to read.

I love lending books to people, particularly if it is something they will like, but I hate not getting them back. it's a difficult situation to be in.

i know what you mean
I lent a book that is no longer in print to someone I used to work with. I don't think I'll get it back now, and it's the follow up to one of my favourite books, ever :(

I'd quite loathe to do that I think
there are some books that I just won't let leave my house

Adama from BattleStar Gallactica
says you should never lend books, only give them to other people.
He is right about that, and pretty much everything else.

Adama is awesome.
And his son is HAWT.

I like the thought of it
but I find it really hard to get rid of books
