Me? Possessive of books? *shifty eyes* ... of course not.
Ok, yes.
It's the appreciation thing that gets to me too. I'm especially protective about things that people ought to show more appreciation for, but don't. Like comedy. LAUGHTER IS IMPORTANT!!! IT IS I TELL YOU!!! Ahem.
If someone says I book I've read is bad, I want to know why. If they can't give me a good reason, I plague them until they can either tell me why they didn't like it, or they threaten to murder me.
Once a friend said that the only books they liked were Harry Potter books ... big mistake. I fixed that!
Oh, you're angry! Click your pen.

I defiinitely feel the same way. A lot of my friends have radically different opinions that mine on what makes a good book, and it's so hard to sit through a conversation in which my favorite book is put down. I want to shout, "Oh, honestly, it was great, dang it!" Then I feel like I should go tell the book everything is gonna be all right or something.
