Possible explanations:
Skeptics will accept a mystical relation between a book and a person, resulting in a book teleporting back when given away, without hesitation?

But I'm done here. There is no talking with you. Bye.
There was a long series of books that I owned. I like to re-read books once and again, and I started this series over. At one point, I noticed that I was missing one book.
I knew that I owned it. I knew that I had read it before. I was still aware of the general flow of the story. But I couldn't find it. It wasn't with the rest of the series.
So I went through all my books... and I have a lot of books. I went through all the bookshelfs in all the rooms of my house. I went through all the places where books might be stored. It was nowhere to be found.
I hadn't been giving it away or lent it to anyone or even thrown it away. It just wasn't there.
So I bought it again. Online, as an e-book version. I have no e-reader, so I had to read it on my desktop computer. A bit awkward... but for a good story, you'll take a bit of discomfort. It was a good story.
When I had just finished the last chapter, I looked down, right next to my desk. There was my printed exemplar to that story.
It's just a way of how we humans interpret reality.
...
Which is "stranger"... that I wasn't meticulous enough in a search, and looked for the wrong object, and that I just ran across it randomly at some later point... or that the object I had been so frantically looking for turned up exactly at the moment it was no longer needed, in a place that should have been obvious just seconds earlier?
That's the second point. All sorts of things happen. That is not dependent on how "strange" they appear to us. It's just a way of how we humans interprete reality. We like it to tell "stories". We are Pan narrans.
you just might figure out what they have in common …
Wrong. Unless you think No is a mispelling of Luke or I is a misspelling of You.
This effect is mostly spelling changes
And not only famous…
I have personal examples of 4 changes

And? I can't wait for you to tell us that in one of your previous realities the moon was actually lime green and only ever came out between midnight and 3am.
People around the world are seeing the Moon during the day
That's a funny one. I can't think of a time in my life when I haven't seen the moon during the daytime, from time to time. The only time it's ever been a special event to me, is when the sun is setting as the moon is rising or vice versa, and the moon is really big looking and glowing. I think maybe that particular effect only happens when it's a full moon or close to it.

Yep, I agree 100%.One thing I've learned is that memories are not entirely reliable. Especially childhood memories.
Fairly recently my adult niece related a vivid memory of when her grandmother's dog, who had been placed in her father's care, had been put to sleep when she was little. And I having been there with her dad when an animal control person picked up the dog, know that she was across town at her mom's house (divorced parents) when this took place. Obviously she was told what happened by her dad, and memory wise she put herself there as it occurred.
every day I live with the effects of unreliable memory … Alzheimer's
