    I don't borrow from the library because I own a library. Seriously the last books I borrowed were some hefty tomes on Islamic, Persian, Indian, and Middle-Eastern art that I needed to write a term paper on Middle-Eastern art back in 2008.

    I'm not very good at returning books. The last time I used a library was in 5th grade when I got "The Biography of Thomas Edison". I forgot to return that and lost my membership. From that day forward, I bought all of my books from my local bookstore which sells hardcover vintage books for about 5 dollars.

    Les Miserables. I'm determined to finish it this time around.

    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    I took out The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher recently.

    I used to always borrow literature from the library, but now I seem to buy these books more, so I can add them to my collection. Now, I usually just get geography and travel books from the library, as they're often around $50 at local bookstores, which I think is an insane price to pay for books with, as is often the case, very little information.

    Katherine Mansfied -The Garden Party, and other short stories.

    Chose it for a bit of light reading. "The Voyage" is a really wonderful short story.

    I think it is an excellent collection of short stories... And very "summery".

    Hope you enjoy it too!
