Yes.
Because I
paid for them, silly.
I
like buying/owning books. I also like to think purchasing them is a more direct form of encouragement for the authors I enjoy reading to write
more books than borrowing might be. I like stimulating the authorial economy by buying the products of those creators I've come to appreciate.
My turn. To those that love to re-read and who can't comprehend the fact that others might not: why would you think the economics of buying vs borrowing is relevant?
