I can agree intellectually that using the library makes complete sense. But somehow I have a great desire to own the books I enjoy reading, or even that I plan to read. Perhaps from early experiences of frequently running out of books to read.

I suspect that the next generation, used to streaming whatever media they want, will be less fixated on owning stuff.
