I agree to some extent - I don't mind paying quite a bit of money for books I know I am bound to re-read over and over again.

I'm fussy on expensive entertainment. Books used to be "poor man's entertainment", and I hope that still remains so. I still like my books to woo me before I'll make them mine forever.

Not many people are re-readers, but I am slow to get tired of re-reading a favorite book. I like to savor and repeat/relive favorite experiences. If an author can persuade me into loving their work of fiction that much, then take my $13 by all means, but I really only buy things I can trust. I've never been a gambler.
