And this leads to Weird Ellmyruh Quirk #487: I hate creasing the spines of paperback books. Even though I've read most of my paperbacks multiple times, most of their spines are in perfect condition. > > If that's a weird quirk then I must be weird and quirky. :-) I can't stand it when I see people laying paperbacks face down and open. They don't have hard covers but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken care of just as much. >
Have you ever refused to lend a book to a friend because you knew they would abuse the poor spine? I'm very guilty of this. I have a certain friend who I HATE to lend books to because I know it will be returned battered.
