I have a friend Catherine who loaned a book to my friend Adam to read. Adam really liked the book a lot so he had Catherine to bring the book to me. The book was 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. Very good. Surprised me. I usually roll my eyes at that kind of book. But it was insightful...and struck more than a few chords with me.Anyway...Catherine did the coolest thing. She has loaned that book to a lot of people. and when she does, she tells them the only rule is that when they read it, they have to read it with a pencil/pen/highliter in hand and make notes as they read. Great idea. So when I read it, I not only read the book, but got to read how others interacted with the book. And sometimes found myself interacting with their interacting. It was especially interesting when you knew who was writing what. Anyway...it was a cool thing and I've sort of adapted it when I loan books out.

I would kill someone for writing in my books or atleast beat the dog shit out of them. my brother once got a black eye for leaving cheeto stains on the inside of the front coverf of one of my hard backs, to purposely deface a book by writing in it, Id go bat shit if I got book back like that

Other than the forums, I'm reading a book called "We Are Not Amused, Sir Guillaume!" It's a book describing the SCA. Very amusing
