[17th]

I treat my books like nice jewelry. Well, sort of. I don't dust them or anything. :P But I don't like bending the books too much when I read them (which is why I prefer hardcovers), and I take the jackets off my hardcover books when I read them because I know I'm a clutz and will probably fuck them up if I don't. I'm very paranoid about letting people borrow my books, because I'll just be angry if I get them back in worse condition than I lent them out in. I don't even like people touching them.. xD

I actually shouted when I read what your dad does to books. XD I can kinda understand it if they're falling apart, but I'm not really gonna buy books that are in such a condition anyways (unless I think I can fix them or it's one I really, really want).
