“He who lends a book is an idiot. He who returns the book is more of an idiot.” — Arabic proverb

I saw this one, too, and found it odd that a proverb was encouraging theft.>>But that doesn’t stop me from liking the quote. 😉 Good choice!

I can identify with this one in a strange way. I like to lend my books yet there’s always a little… dread attached to the lending. Will they take care of it? Will I get it back? How long do I need to wait before I ask for it back? >>You know, those perfectly natural, obsessive questions…>>cjh

Haha, what a great quote. I will admit to being a very good book borrow (I always return) but I can definately understand the sentiment 🙂

HaHa that’s awesome! I don’t mind lending books at all, but sometimes if it’s been gone too long I just buy a new copy (which I guess makes me a generous idiot) 🙂
