Do you usually buy your books from the store, or do you usually just borrow books from the library?

I really wish I could buy all of mine, but books are so expensive They're usually each around $15 minimum. But then it'd be a waste if I bought a book and it turned out really bad. That's happened a few times. If you sell them to a used book store you hardly get anything for them, that is if they even accept them.

But with library books, they can sometimes be really dirty (who knows who's touched them ), and some people 'dog ear' pages, which REALLY bugs me. Then there are the due dates and fines... And what if you want to read the book again? You have to wait forever to get it again, especially if it's a popular book and there's a waiting list.

i usually go to barnes and nobles and read a book there

Sometimes I'll buy them. Most of the books I've read lately are ones that I've bought. Most of the time when I buy a book and read it, I won't read it again because I can remember everything that I'm going to read. A lot times when I go to the library I forget to take them back (even the school library), haha. I used to read a lot more than I do now, so I'd wait until they came out in paperback, because then they'd be cheaper.

I buy mine.

For some reason, I can't stand having library books. It's a strange, strange hatred.

I buy.
Most books I read, I end up reading over again- especially if I love it.

Most of the time I either buy them, or just sit in barnes&noble and read them.
I do have a few books that I've borrowed though. haha

I usually buy my books from our local college book store.

Buy. Goodwill is your friend.

I usually borrow. I read so much & books can get really expensive, so every few weeks or so I'll pick up around 10-15 books from the library :]

library. movies as well. much cheaper.

I buy all mine, I hate borrowing especially when I want to keep the book. Plus I should be banned from the library because I never remember to take the books back on time.

I borrow them from the library.

Borrow. Lately the only thing i read is like, Gossip Girl and those are over 10 bucks a book. No way jose.

I buy them cause i dont have a library card lol -.-, and cause i like to be able to go back to the book anytime.

I really hate it when they don't have paperback books, hard cover is so expensive

buy.
I hate borrowing...besides, I'm really irresponsible when it comes to returning library stuff.

I buy mine. I havent been to a public library in ages.

Sometimes I go to the library, but for some reason, I always end up with an overdue fine

I used to go to the library a lot when I was a kid, but now I either borrow from friends or buy some when I have the money.

I borrow books way more often than I buy them. Often the ones I buy are part of a series I really love, or they're by an author whose books I want to own most of.

My friends and I always borrow books from eachother. We all have about 5 books that get passed around to everyone.

I usually borrow my books. I rarely buy books because I'll only end up reading them once or twice and then I'll forget about them. There are only certain books I've bought that I read over and over again.

I definitely buy. I like to own my own books because I usually read more than one at a time and read half of one and the other half three months later. Plus I like to reference them so they're good to have. And my friends can actually borrow it when I recommend it!

I don't buy leisure reading books. Have to save up for textbooks... and tuition. I generally borrow but lately, I've been reading a lot of e-books.

I buy and download e-books for free :D

I pretty much buy all of my books.
Sometimes I'll borrow books only if I know I'm probably not going to read it again. Like the Series of Unfortunate Events. I borrowed all those from the library.
