1. Put them in front of you on a table and put yours hands around them, place your head on them and... and... and.. sweet dreams!

2. Put them on your head and practice cat walk.  Who knows you can be next Miss Universe!

3. Use them as a stool to sit on.

4. Stack them up in a beautiful book case, and show them off to friends.

5. Use them as outlets of creativity... Yes, I am referring to all the scribbling, scratches, and marks that are often found on students' books.

6. Carry one with you all the time, so as soon as you come across a person you don't want to say Hi to, open it and pretend to be lost in reading.

7.Pretend to be lost in the imaginary world of the book you're reading as soon as you hear a voice asking you something you don't want to answer.

8. Use them to hit someone 'accidentally' when you purpose threw the book in his/her direction at precisely 50 miles/per speed.

9. Color code the verbs, nouns, and other parts of speech on every page so whenever life's dull you can open it and be refreshed by the colors in front of you.

10. But.......... The BEST thing you can do with them is to read them.  Absorb the ideas that the author has strong enough reasons to write about.  You may not agree with everything you read or even like it.  But remember, the important thing is that you are aware of it.  Reading has endless advantages.  Don't believe me? Do a search on google with "Advantages of reading books" and you'll get 1,320,000 results!

A person with a book is never lonely!  Read, read anything. Read novels, fictions, nonfiction, fantasies, magazines or even DVD manuals if that's what you like (Although I must say it's pretty sad if that's what you want to read).  Reading is the key.

Yash, I've never personally tried #8 before but I think hard cover one would do the job best

I've done #10 the most but #6 is quite popular too

#10 for me too. I hate scribbling on my books, and even if its with a pencil which can be erased later, same goes with my text books. It will sound stupid, but Im very protective about my books,infact I have emptied one row of my closet to keep my Twilight books

I'm just like it. I hate scribbling on my books too.  Although when I'm reading books and I find something very interesting or worthwhile to remember, I mark it either with a pencil or I stick in a sticky note.  Other than that, I hate it when my books are harmed in any way even if the pages are folded.
