There's a large chance I would do this also. However, when I have had books spoilt its been online so all i could do was write angry words.DalekPrideParade wrote: 2. I'd swipe their legs out from beneath them and karate chop them into oblivion.
I have my fav books in leather bound versions so wouldn't lend out to anyone. Having said that, my friends are terrible at returning anything. So anything borrowed is in fact given.

Secondly, I'd salvage would I could to make art out it. I always liked the idea of "book art" but am always hesitant about using my copies that are still in readable condition. I like the idea of taking single pages and doing a water color painting over it and framing it.

2. I would most likely frown, and turn away. Hours later, when I have free-time, I'll probably ponder over the flaws, and reconsider them, before deciding whether or not the book was still my favorite.
3. If someone tells me the ending... well, usually when people try to tell me the ending, they start off by saying whether or not I want to know the ending, and I'll say "no", but they'll tell me anyway, which is to be expected, and I would push them away. If I did happen to overhear or that person shouts it to me or something, I'll still read the book. Someone telling you a story just isn't the same as reading it yourself.

Second, I have not actually had someone ruin a book for me by telling me the ending...except of course movies, which may be the reason why I don't read books after I watch the movies. However if someone did this, I'd also be largely upset becuase reading is a journey and if it's ruined, it makes reading less enjoyable. I'd mkae doubly sure that they do not have any idea what book I'm reading.

2nd: I am quite and open-minded person so most probably I would read the book again so that I could see if their view has any meaning but still I think at the end I would stand-by my view since for me it's very difficult to change my opinions on my favorite books.
3rd: First I would get so angry and flip out!!! (I hate these type of people!) Then I guess I would either not read the book or read it a year later or more when I had forgotten the ending, but still I would not enjoy it!

I hope you made the dog pay you back.Teamo19 wrote:I think it depends on why they ruined it, whether it was an accident or just plainly to be horrible. When my husband and I were first married I inherited a book from my grandmother. It was a large hardback storybook that she used to read to me when I would spend summer evenings at her house. My puppy somehow got it off the bookshelf and chewed on the binding. I cried for days over that!
