Book Blogger Hop February 23rd - March 1st: 243 Is the Calling Code for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, A Country That Was Called Zaire When I Lived There

Jen at Crazy for Books restarted her weekly Book Blogger Hop to help book bloggers connect with one another, but then couldn't continue, so she handed the hosting responsibilities off to Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The only requirements to participate in the Hop are to write and link a post answering the weekly question and then visit other blogs that are also participating to see if you like their blog and would like to follow them.

This week Billy asks: Do you read hardcovers with the dust jacket on or off? Why or why not?

I read books that have a dust jacket with the dust jacket on. I don't think I ever thought about taking one of them off to read a book. I certainly have hardcover books that don't have dust jackets - I have piles and piles of used books and a lot of them parted ways with their dust jacket long before they ever got into my collection, but if a book has a dust jacket, I leave it on to read it. Before this question, I had never even heard of the practice of taking a dust jacket off a book when reading the book. I figure that the dust jacket is there to protect the book, so taking it off seems to me like it would be counterproductive.
