Book Blogger Hop #42: February 23rd - March 1st

Hello everyone! I'm participating in another book meme called the Book Blogger Hop which is hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer!  Basically, you just answer weekly questions and then post up your link on the question's page.

This week's question is : 

 This week's question is submitted by  Maria @ A Night's Dream of Books.

Do you read hardcovers with the dust jacket on or off? Why or why not?

I try to read books with the dust jacket off because one time when I did read a book with the dust jacket on, I ended up ruining the dust jacket because I usually carry my books everywhere I go and I guess all that traveling put a lot of strain on the dust jacket.  So, the dust jacket comes off whenever I'm reading a book (unless it's the library bindings, which are tied to the books real tight)!  I also can't stand it whenever the book starts sliding around with the dust jacket on and it just distracts me from actually reading the book.
