Me too! ranagrande Send a noteboard - 22/04/2011 03:50:07 AM
Libraries are great, but I could never subsist entirely off of them. For instance, this month I read Brandon Sanderson's works. No way I could pull that off with a library; I'd have to wait weeks between each book, if the library carried it at all.

If I lived in a smaller city, I might feel that way. The system here works for me though. I'm currently reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I was indeed on a waiting list for it for a few weeks, but I can always find other books that I enjoy in the interval. Besides, my local libraries' selection may be limited when compared with, say, amazon.com, but they still have far more books than I would ever be able to read.

Sometimes books are worth the price. :P

Of course you're right here too. I very rarely buy books, but sometimes they really are worth it.

I hate to come back to that now-ubiquitous point of contention. . . Panorphaeon - 21/04/2011 08:53:52 AM 1509 Views
It costs a little over £6 at abebooks Camilla - 21/04/2011 10:21:29 AM 1201 Views
Why is it figuring pounds if it's from a seller in New Mexico? Panorphaeon - 21/04/2011 11:12:05 AM 1156 Views
Because I use the British site Camilla - 21/04/2011 11:33:50 AM 1180 Views
