So what if you can't re-read it in 5 years time? You're not buying it to read in 5 years; you're buying it to read NOW. Most of the things I buy now aren't going to be of much use to me in 5 years, but that doesn't stop me from buying and enjoying them now. I certainly don't think of a book as a "life-long investment". The majority of the books I read, I'll never read again.
