I buy everything. Not because I feel compelled to
own things (or because I habitually re-read), but because nobody has the books I'd want to borrow WHEN I'm ready to read them. My friends don't read (or read crap) and libraries want me to wait. *shudder*
I WOULD borrow, though. In a heartbeat, if there were a marked improvement in the selections immediately (or at the very least
timely) available to me.
Buying doesn't really make me feel very put-out, though. So at least I got that going for me (gungala, gungala).
