No, you are confusing intent to read with willingness to buy your own copy at full retail price. Jon is very interested in reading a certain book, therefore he will cave in and eventually buy his own copy anyway. In Jon's case I doubt it is true, and he even said so. The assumption that makes you think that is possibly believing in special snow flakes?
