Were/Are you the type of student to read the book or read the summaries?

@SW-User My copy of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley has been well loved. It has some water damage (which I have no idea how that happened. I left it in my bag and somehow it got wet even though I had no liquids in the bag). I also annotated that book to death.

@BlackBloodDemon I took books with me everywhere I went, and didn't protect them. They ended up stained with food, drink spills and dish washing liquid. One day, I went to take my copy of To Kill a Mockingbird off the shelf and the pages all cascaded out at my feet. These days, you should see my cookbooks -- talk about well loved. They're coated with more flour and eggs than a fried chicken. 😁

@SW-User Wow, that's pretty intense. I have a lot of books in poor condition, but most of the time I just bought them like that. I do try to take care of my books, but sometimes accidents just happen lol.
