    It's great because it just lies open flat without you having to pin it down to read it. I guess I better not tell you that I write in them as well... with BIRO :razz:

    But surely that ruins the book? I always try and keep my books and stuff in really good condition, I'm a bit wierd like that.

    :yes:.

    I'll crack the spine if it's getting impossible to read the ends of the lines on the page, but not otherwise, and I hate hate hate writing in my books unless I'm writing my name in them :(.

    *beats you with a big stick*

    My books all look pretty much pristine, except my favourites which are battered and old looking. And if i like them that much, i'll probably buy another copy too :D

    That's odd.

    Cracking the spine is where you take a paperback book and bend it back so that it'll fall open - instead of the spine of the book looking like new (as in a bookshop) with no 'lines' down the spine. Does that make sense?

    yea I understood that. Google was helpful.

    I don't really like to do that to books, but sometimes it's unavoidable, for example when you are copying something out of a book.

    Pah. Academic books don't count, they're fair game.

    I'm talking about fiction :)

    Oh I'm with you on the book spine thing. I went to flatten one out (a textbook even) the other day at the gym and it cracked. I was actually devistated.

    sucks if they are paperback, however.

    I would try to have my books in best condition tho.

    I own a few very old books, like one of Hermann Römpp (A big guy in organic chemistry, back in the 1940s), and a few old science books from Reichs-germany and I try to keep their longevity.

    when people stumble (as in nearly fall over)
    an honest compliment.

    Oh, of course.

    My academic books are in pretty mint condition. Which is quite possibly why i got a 2.2.
