We have all been in this situation.. Read on .. LIKE most lovers, book lovers are possessive, too. I have to confess that anyone flirting with my bookshelf makes me jealous. The scene I dread is a classic one that repeats itself; most book collectors will know this moment well. A visitor wanders over to your bookshelf and begins browsing. Youre hoping hell become bored and return to his chair. But no — he has begun pulling out books and is now examining them closely, fondling them. He has lost all interest in you and the evening. When he finally does return to his chair, a small pile of books from your shelf accompanies him. You know whats coming but you are prepared. Hell ask and youll say — not a chance! After all, this is not the first time that this has happened. The moment finally comes. The poor chap is just as nervous as you are, as he works up the courage to ask the question. Oh, he says almost absentmindedly, as he gets up to leave, can I borrow these books? Of course, no problem. Ill return them in a week. Take your time. You dont mind, do you? Mind? Why should I mind? thehindu/lr/2003/09/07/stories/2003090700410600.htm
