So I stopped loaning books because people don't respect them. They return them to me with dog-eared pages, one or more spine cracks, and occasionally *shudder* cover destruction.

I interpret that 100+ as exaggeration to aid understanding, but apart form that, no, you're not alone. My own p-books tends to look un-read even after several readings. Except perhaps my cookbooks, because at some point an accident is likely even if you are careful, so I accept that and don't fret about it.
