After a divorce I had less disposable income, so I re-discovered the joys of the public library. And I'm extremely glad I did. Nowadays I think very hard before buying a book, but if I check one out of the library and decide I don't really want to read it, or finish if I've started it and just am not enjoying it, and no money wasted. It does mean that I place a priority on reading the library books, as there's no urgency about reading the ones I own.

It is nice to be surrounded by books that need reading, isn't it?
