I learned the hard way to open library books and give them a shake before reading. A couple of years ago, I got settled into bed, picked up a library book I'd gotten earlier that day, and opened it. Grains of sand fell out as I turned the pages. Somebody must have taken it to the beach or into a sandbox. Had to strip my bed and remake it because of the grit that fell onto my sheets after just a couple of pages. Took the book back to the library the next day and recommended that they vacuum it before reshelving it.

Oh, and living in the land of mosquitoes, it's always interesting to flip the page and find the remains of a little bloodsucker.
