I lent a pbook last week to a colleague. I'm Romanian but I'm in the Netherlands now, and when I came here I came with some books in Romanian. The reason for lending was that she had learned Romanian at school when she was young, but hasn't used the language in more than 10 years and reading is a good way to get used to the language again. But I suppose that I could have told her to buy her own, after all, she does have relatives that could send her a book.
And to those who have had bad experiences with lending books to friends: maybe you should get better friends.
