Do you buy or borrow most of your books? Options

[angelrevelation]

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.

Definately buy, because;

1.) If I really like a book, I'll read it over and over and over, and

2.) I like to keep my books in my case and proudly show them off, like trophies.
