    i really try not to think about it, but library books aren't right. I mean think about all the people who've had a library book accompany them to the john. and those book pass from person to person, with little or no cleaning... that ain't right. I guess that's the price to pay for not paying.. just a random thought

    love,

    Do you by any chance have extremely long hair and nails, live in a sterile room and have kleenex boxes on your feet?

    Handling library books is no different than handling an item in a store, others have picked it up before you and ::gasp!:: didn't wash their hands first. Clothing may have been tried on by others. You touch door knobs, money, anything, and chances are that it has been touched by someone who just sneezed into their hand and wiped it on their pants...........

    I'm of the opinion that handling something like money, is way way more disgusting than a library book. I personally think that people are way to paranoid about germs. We don't live in a sterile environment, thank god.

    heh, now that you mention it, I am very hygiene concious. i take a book to be very personal, you know something that you take with you to bed to read. yes, I am aware that people try on clothes before you buy, so i usually wash it. i dunno, maybe I'm thinking too much into it. funny thought...anyone see the episode of seinfeld where George takes a book to the bathroom with him and they make him buy it...ha...

    love,

    Yes I remember that episode, probably because I do not watch much television and the things I see tend to stuck in my mind for quite some years to come.

    I thinks its psychology or the way you look at it, sorta like how some people think that ohh i'm dinning out at a resturant today the food has got to be good when in actuality its the same as a home cook meal.

    The customer goes home still thinking that the resturant meal is better then a home cook meal even thought its the same.

    Personally i'm not that concerned afterall what's the worst intermes of hygine the book can be??? it's not humanly possible for a book to carying lifelong diseases, it may cary some germs and diseases but you will normaly heal afterwards. for example snnising from a book that has a lot of dust on it.

    but i don't know i'm starting to second guess myself know.

    you know, i was watching MythBusters, and they were testing the story that everything in a bathroom has fecal matter on it, including toothbrushes. anyway, it's true. ALSO, everything everywhere else in the house has fecal matter on it. that's just how it is. everytime you smell a fart, someone's fecal matter has attached to the olfactory receptors in your nose, and when you can no longer smell it, even though you know damned well that there's still farts in the air, it just means that your olfactory receptors are completely clogged with someone else's shit. that's why it's rude to fart around other people.

    I worked at a library for about two years, and I never came close to freaking out about germs on the books. And before coming to Japan, I worked at a supermarket as a cashier, and I never ever thought about germs when handling money.
