| Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folk have lent me. | |

Reblogged this on A Grateful Man and commented:
I never pass up the opportunity to lend books I love to people I love. It feels good to share wonderful experiences such that a good book can create. While it is true that I don’t always get them back, I know I can always inexpensively buy another copy, and in some cases have needed to do so for the same title a few times. I now sometimes keep multiple copies of the same title just so I can give some away.
With Love,
Russ
Hi Russ,
I wouldn’t say I’m the complete opposite, but fairly close. My excuse was that I intended to re-read the books I’ve truly enjoyed. Now, I have so many un-read books, it is extremely unlikely I’ll ever have the time to go back and re-read all but a handful of the ones I thought I might like to re-read. Nowadays, folks want their books as e-readable, so I doubt many would bother carrying a real book, let alone reading it.
And thanks for the re-blogs!
Kevin
