Faulty premise, you’re presuming I would lend a book to anyone.

Although I would limit myself to a quick wave and a smile.

I’d keep on walking because that is how I would like to be treated.

I would shake their hand, say “I enjoy your work!” and go on with my day.

I would follow the author respectfully to find out how they are here.

I would see if they needed anything since being dislocated in time would be difficult.

Yes, I would repackage the book and leave the box on their doorstep.

Yes, I would return the package along with an invitation to talk it out over tea.

No, my dilemma is whether to sell it or enjoy having it when they don’t.

I wouldn’t admit I hadn’t read it, but my book club probably will not notice.

I’d try to solve this conflict by focusing my praise on my friend’s dedication.

I'd ask if they'd like my help. If so, I’d offer critiques. If not, I’d let it go.

I’d express my excitement and focus on the importance of editing.

I’d be honest and enjoy watching hope drain from their eyes.

As long as no one else is reading them, I’d have them grab a couple for me.

I would insist that they return the books in person, no ifs, ands, or buts.

I’d express my disappointment and have them promise to not do it again.

I’d hope the film would inspire others to read the book for themselves.

The prospect would personally gall me, but I’d keep this feeling to myself.

I would immediately respond and let the sender know I didn’t open the attachment.

I would read the manuscript out of curiosity, but would not tell anyone.

I would neither read nor share it because I'm not interested.

I’d leak the book, but not before I revise the text so that protagonist dies.
