I do like owning the books. My favorite "reading habit" is to buy a book and hoard it for a while. In the past this meant having a stack of the "can't wait to read" books. It was usually 3 to 5 high. And I just LOVED having it there because I knew every single book in that stack was going to be special. I'd read other books for a few weeks before dipping into the special pile.
I still do the same thing although some of the books are now on the Kindle. It's not quite the same because I don't get to peek at the covers like I do with the "stack."
I don't mind borrowing from the library, but I feel a bit forced to read them because of the due date. Since I don't have the money to buy every single book I want, I do use the library quite extensively. But if I had my druthers, I'd have my hoard stack. Waiting. With The Most Excellent Selection.
