And I was reminded of one of my own...once I was stuck in an elevator by myself at the SUBWAY station (a very nasty place). I had a book, so I didn't even get nervous for the first hour...but as I could see I would finish it soon, I did start screaming after that...

:-) Totally understand.

I sometimes make lists in my head regarding which books I would take if a catastrophe of some kind happened. I think I'd always try to pack one tarot deck, one novel and one book with poems or a play. Something that you can learn by heart which helps to pass the time and lets you escape reality.

I added to my list. More and more things popped into my mind.

This just proves what I've always known anyway...you definitely are the most bookish person I know! ;-) Very delightful to read, some habit I've already known, others not...!

If the books belong to me, I'm not a careful reader. I.e. you will see that I've read a book. :-) I don't mind the slighly used look though. Makes my books feel more comfortable. That's why I like borrowing books from you so much...I mean, I don't slaughter them but I don't want to treat them as fragile either. Actually, I first feared you would be like Christine whose books always look like just-bought (pst, don't tell her: she even puts them in a plastic bag before putting in her handbag in order to protect them more; she would never hold a book in only one hand and I really wonder whether she someday starts using a pincette for turning over the pages...) I even think that a certain amount of signs signalling that the book was read (and in this case possibly loved) is preferable to a book where you wonder why it looks so unread...! Gives them a kind of "life"!
A propos, thanks for HP, I've finished reading it on the airplane (and it's still quite intact, he he, despite of the beach sand, etc.) ;-)

It always makes me nervous to borrow books from perfect readers. I just know I won't be able to return it in exactly the same condition.

On to "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"! You're going to like it, I think. A bit lengthy, but full of lovely teenage angst!
