My story is similar. I used to loan people my books. I did this in spite of the fact that, over the years, I had to buy many replacements. Indeed, I kept paperback copies of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and of Stranger in a Strange Land specifically to loan. A friend of mine sent me a copy of Samurai Cat, a book I treasured both for itself and because of how I got it. One day a friend borrowed it. After a while, I asked what had happened to it, and was informed that a friend of his had in turn borrowed it. Apparently it had been passed on a number of times. And nobody seemed to know where it was. I never got it back, and I never replaced it (wouldn't be the same).
