See, it still haunts me. I was like 16 at the time and someone left it at the dentist office. I read it while I was there and didn't take it with me. Stupid!

But I so totally do everything else you metionsed. Its the biggest problem I have when it comes to buying used books or loaning books out to people. I cant stand a cracked spine or beant pages. And I cant start a book and not finish it. No matter if I hate it, I have to finish the story and just know I probably wont read anything by that person again.<BR/><BR/>bacchus76 at myself dot comdonnashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468804026216474775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495862966543058553.post-42495783736361736662009-02-12T13:36:00.000-05:002009-02-12T13:36:00.000-05:00Tara again...what the hell is a sonie cracker? gu...Tara again...what the hell is a sonie cracker? guess I should spell check first.

The awkward positions i have had to asume in order to peer into the shadowed pages to read without opening them all the way? Sometimes I would just have to go out and by my own copy so I could read the book in a relaxed state of mind. I'm going to have to side with Vicki on this one. On the other hand...I will not bend pages.

It's like I open the book up far enough to jump right in the page and walk the journey side by side with the H/H.<BR/><BR/>LKap's on the other hand, yeah, you'd think she never read the books on her shelf and trust me, she reads all of them.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521384704019863926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8495862966543058553.post-49979055217221765772009-02-12T09:52:00.000-05:002009-02-12T09:52:00.000-05:00Chasing the Moon - This is why I ramble - thoughts...Chasing the Moon - <BR/>This is why I ramble - thoughts like this that if you think about them long enough you're like..HUH<BR/>But I'm glad you treasure books too!<BR/><BR/>Patricia - <BR/>Hey sis, what's up?
