I hate people that mistreat books. I hate it so much. They break the spines, they fold the corners, they tear the pages, they mark the passages. It seems like they willfully try to destroy the books.

I had a right go at my boss the about this. He took a book, and went to show me a part of it that was relevant to something we were working on. Instead of just handing me the book, he folded the spine backwards until it cracked, and shoved it in my face. I spent the rest of the day moaning to him about how he broke the book and that he should never be allowed to touch the poor thing again and it was such a good book how could he do that to it yadda yadda yadda...

It was his book.
