    • Over the past 48 hours 4chan's formspring page has gotten over 12,000 questions, and I've received over 3,000 e-mails. Many thanks to everyone who submitted a question, and sent me a message! I was able to respond to a few hundred e-mails and had hoped to start answering questions on formspring, but it seems that the number of questions broke the page. Once that's sorted out, I'll sift through them and answer as time allows.
    Thanks again for all of the support!

    In other news, /rs/ now processes MediaFire/MegaUpload/and a bunch of other links correctly (this had been broken for months). The old links should be updated in about a week (the checker is taking a while).
    Thanks to Popcorn Mariachi for spontaneously appearing and fixing this.

    Final reminder: Ask questions here, e-mail me here (I read *every* one), and follow 4chan on the Twitter here.

    Anyone hates lending books? Add to that the fact that i can't say "no".
    I compromised myself to lend my copy of Catcher in the Rye to someone, a book i almost lost once because of this.

    Also I love lending books, especially when people really enjoy them. If I really love a book I'll buy a hardcover and then I can lend the paperback when I want ^_^.

    I kinda get afraid of having the book damaged, or never seeing it again

    Well then...buy a new one? Losing a book won't happen that often. It'll be a good experience more than a bad one. Small price to pay in my opinion.

    It's not a question of price..
    Maybe i'm being materialistic, i love the story, but that physical copy is mine, it means something to me, that one particular copy.

    I don't think I've dealt with hard copies of books for years now. Ahyone who still waggles paper is such an awful faggot indeed.
    >> Anonymous 03/02/10(Tue)09:40 No.367373
    I always give away books, if I have read them twice or even just once handing them out is good so someone else can read something decent besides Harry Potter and a bunch of Tom Clancy shit shoved down their throats all the time.
    >> Anonymous 03/02/10(Tue)09:48 No.367406
    No. If I collected rare books, I wouldn't loan them. But I only have paperbacks, most of which I've marked extensively, so I don't have any objections to loaning my books to someone who's trustworthy and likely to return them.

    I usually give my copies of books away to new acquaintances as soon as I finish them.

    I've bought extra copies of books for the express purpose of lending them to friends.

    I don't see why you wouldn't.

    Books are for reading. If you're not reading it let someone borrow it. If you're going to be such a bitch about it then just say no.

    you put your initials on the inside cover.

    You get them back with ruined pages or not at all.

    I have lots of books with initials written in them. Most of them aren't mine, though.

    I have yet to meet someone who reads the books I lend to them, is quite sad.
    >> Anonymous 03/02/10(Tue)11:54 No.367714
    No, because there's people that have no respect for other's hard earned money. It's even worse when they fuck up a book of mine and keep on asking me to lend them shit, even when I told them I wouldn't anymore.

    I refuse to loan my books because in my experience I either don't get them back or get them back in very bad condition.

    So it seems, /lit/ is 50% for borrowing (share the knowledge) books, and 50% against (give value to what you have)?

    If someone asks to borrow one of my books I just buy them their own copy or direct them to the library.
