[quote=Anonymous]I have to admit I do this all the time. People rave about a book, and tell me they'll pass it on to me when they are done. I read like a fiend, and I always want new books. I often can't resist and go get the book myself. If the person seems pleased to give the book, I do what PP mentioned: "Thank you so much! How thoughtful of you! The reviews have been fantastic, haven't they?" If I am busted, I am busted, and I apologize and say their glowing review made me so exited I couldn't wait. I also think of books as pass-along things - I have only so many bookshelves, so when new books come in old books must go out...so I try to have a steady movement of good books going out to other people. So I don't think of a book like I do a vase, something you give and it stays where you gave it. Don't make your son feel bad, OP. Its not reasonable to rave about a book and then make a kid wait too long for it![/quote]
