The Anubis Gates
by Tim Powers
by Tim Powers
A friend loaned me this book long ago. It was his absolute most favorite book at the time. So I cracked the spine and moved right in. When I'm really into a book it becomes an extension of my left arm and tends to get in the way of meals. When I finally returned it, full of crumbs and tea stains, the cover had somehow gone missing. My friend was unhappy with me but I had thoroughly enjoyed his book. Thanks, Nathan.

It was a long time ago! We were young! What did we know about literature? I was taking a philosophy class at the time - everything seemed so deep and meaningful... Is it really bad?
I'm sure you purchased him a new copy. That would only seem just. I wouldn't have thought of that at the selfish age of 17, but the 40 year old version of myself would not return a book without its cover to a friend. Not if I expected to keep that friend.
What Ulrich said. Also, please don't crack spines! Get a heavy beanbag snake, or make one. Or a fist-sized rock to keep the book open.
