I'm going to adopt pdurrant's $40 monthly budget because he has never steered me wrong. I am feeling foolish for owning so many books – 740 on my TBR list alone. I am a nomad and acquire library cards anywhere I reside for more than a couple weeks ( I need those cards for local travel and history books, plus I just love libraries). I have an endless supply of books available to me, both print and digital.
Still, I must often buy books in order to participate in the book clubs. Many books I want to read are not available in library digital collections, plus I am ethically uncomfortable joining a waiting list for a book in a town where I am a transient paying only minimal lodging and sales taxes.
So $40 a month it is in 2014.
