What was the last book you loaned to someone?

8 months ago, I lent my boss a number of books.. around 8 of them..

I've never loaned a book.

It was Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix... It was like my bible and my friends cat peed on it! I was livid.

The Player of Games by Iain M. Banks. ...didn't get it back. grr..

I think it was a book called Longing, about Clara and Robert Schumann. My downstairs neighbor has it.

Maybe some nursing books for new students, I assume.

Alias Grace to my mom.

"The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf. We were talking about such things at work and I loaned it to my boss. After she read it, the site supervisor borrowed it too.

Kicking the Sacred Cow by James Hogan to romkey.

Midwives, Practical Magic, and The Postman... all at the same time.

I have no idea.

I can't remember.

I don't have any books to loan....

Freakonomics.

The whole set of Narnia

It was a book on The Simpsons... I don't remember the title exactly. Which reminds me I should ask my brother for that book back.

Discover your possibilities by Robert Schuller my sister read it while she was here. Oh! Oh! maybe it was The shadows of Las Vegas by Jean Carroll who just happens to be my aunt.

> Which reminds me I should ask my brother for that book back.
>...didn't get it back. grr..

I loaned my mother in law about 6 books when she was in the hospital. I think she thought I gave them to her. I never get books I lone out back! Does anyone?

I don't "loan" books but I do let my cooking neighbor look over some I have checked out of the library if I think he'd like them. Since they're not my own books, I don't consider this "loaning." One was "Asian Ingredients" by Bruce Cost; one was a sushi book with photos; and one a kitchen-chemistry kind of book. When I pass on any of my other books to yet another neighbor, these are thriller-fiction works that I don't want back because I've already read 'em, so he can do what he wants with them. Often I donate books to a small non-chain neighborhood used bookstore if they're good quality and I think she'd appreciate them. Otherwise, if they're other books that are maybe textbooks or books not in perfect shape (like some I've picked up at garage sales), I just donate to a thrift store called "Out of the Closet" -- the proceeds of these stores go to AIDS research.

I haven't read a book in years, and don't know anyone who would read one either.

I don't loan books........... i have a big collection of thriller/fiction books and I never loan them

A Child Called It

And what would this book be about?

It was A Million Little Pieces
Author James Frey

This is a must read book

Who wants it next?

I loaned my copies of Fooled Again and On The Justice of Roosting Chickens to my grandmother today.

Ah.

My last book that I loaned someone was Lillys in the Field back in 1998, never got it back!

It's quite an informative book. I'd recommend it to everyone.

There were 3 or 4 books I loaned to my friend in Michigan, they were books on how the brain works. She has had them about a year and a half and last month she said she was ready to give them back. Pshew! I figured loaning books out are gone. Several years ago, I loaned 2 to my best friend. She disappeared. No more books.

It's a rare thing to get back a loaned book. Probably easier to get money back. I have one borrowed from my friend, but my cat barfed green lime an it, so I have to buy her a new one. My mother loans me books, but she remeinds me everytime she calls, so I don't keep hers long. I think that's the trick is to harrass someone to give them back.

An R.L.Stine Point Horror collection book when I was 14. The book came back looking tatty as hell and I haven't loaned out another one since.

"Undead and Unwed" about Queen Betsy the Vampire Queen

the da vinci code. How predictable

it was a harry potter book.

I usually give them away after I read them unless they were a gift.

Bill Bryson's Notes to one of my colleagues.

Again. I don't read. So I don't loan books either.

Various books to my mother - they include the Northern Lights trilogy by Philip Pullman, and Star of the Sea, amongst many others. We tend to pass books between us.

Rita Mae Brown's "Six of One" Great Southern satire.
