That's it, Nikki. My toothbrush you can borrow, but NOT my books!I do break the spine on hardbacks, so that they don't get that weird bendy uneven thing going on, but paperbacks? Nope. Just a natural thing, the way I read, but I don't break'em.
Even though, like PC, I tend to read almost everywhere -- when eating, etc. (And, since I don't have soaks in the bath, that's not an issue. I just read away in the shower...)
(Wait! No I don't! I guess I'm confused...)
