hard to please?

i have recently acquired this quirk... I refuse to borrow books which look too old. One day as i was reading a book from the library, i had this sudden image of the many fingers which have thumbed through these pages, manicured fingers, dirty fingers, food-stained fingers, mucous coated ones... quite revolting huh?

Maybe, that is why i am beginning to buy more books instead.

As a rule now, I only pick up new-looking books. Must not be dog eared, unless its a book i've been dying to read.

Today at the library, I had difficulty finding books. They either look too old, or are hard cover -- which makes them hard to bring around, and therefore, i am probably never going to finish reading them. Eventually, I settled for some easy reading material, some girly-brainless book. Those with pretty book covers...
