I was reading a book in class, and after finishing it my Earth Sciences teacher asked to read it. He never gave it back and swore for years I never lent it to him. It was a book one of a series that my dad had given me.

Princess of Mars, book 1 of Edgar Rice Borroughs's Barsoom series. The edition from the 70s. I just recently found new copy of the missing book at the used bookstore so I could complete my shelf.

My kids know this teacher's name, and call him my nemesis.
