I'm anal about the binding of my books. I think it spawned from my love for comic books and how I liked keeping them in good condition. I spaz whenever I see a book binding bent/broken.

This is why I don't lend books out, and why I could never buy used books at school. The creases in the binding would make me crazy.

Are there really this many people that are crazy about their books? I mean, if I go into someone's house and see a bookshelf full of books that look like they've never been read, i'm going to assume that they've never been read. I'm not saying go around [censored] your books up on purpose, but if they get a little wear and tear on them, so what?

I can understand if people do this with 1st edition copies of certain books, or more rare books, but my sister does this with every book that passes through her hands. If she catches me reading one and there's a crease or fold anywhere, she goes apeshit insane on me, which drives me up the [censored] wall.
