[Suzerain of Sheol]

Um.... good thing we don't live in book-borrowing distance, Quiet. :p I actually find it kind of weird that I never knew that about you. You'd think it would have come up.

I don't really attach any sort of aesthetic value to my books. When I get a paperback, I reverse-bend it all the way so I can set it down and read it without holding it. I fold pages relentlessly to mark my place.

Granted, my father usually ends up reading them after I do and he's even worse about (half the books I lend him are missing their covers...) so it would be kind of pointless to even try.

That said, I do someday want a display copy of the entire Malazan Book of the Fallen, since they just look awesome sitting on a bookshelf, but at the moment, my collection of them is varied between paperback, trade paperback, and hardcover and American and British editions, besides.
