I have a sizeable library of books, and from time to time I’ll lend a few out to trusted friends and acquaintances, especially if I’m sharing something I think they’ll really enjoy. This is not without risks: while trying to entice my nephew to read Harry Potter last year, he somehow lost my first edition hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone and it hasn’t turned up since. :eek: I haven’t replaced it yet… there’s a gap up there on my shelf next to my Hedwig the owl plush toy and homemade Ollivander wand…
I recently found out a family friend took it upon himself to buy Alan Moore’s graphic novel * V for Vendetta* after seeing the movie and really liked the writing. He earned big pointf from me saying he preferred the book. But since he’s not a big fan of superheroes, I decided against lending him “Swamp Thing” and “Tom Strong” and gave him Moore’s From Hell and I told him to take his time getting it back to me since it’s about ten times as dense as Vendetta.
What’s been lent to you/lent out by you recently?
