I haven't done this with too many books, probably only two or three.
I have done it several times with DVD's though. I'd rent a DVD (back when that was a thing before streaming), start watching it, recognize it as something quite familiar, then look up on my DVD bookshelf and find that I own the same silly DVD that I just rented.
More often though, I know I have bought something, tear the house apart searching for it, and finally give up and buy it again. And when I go to put the new purchase away, I find myself putting it right next to the original one that I couldn't find before.
