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.

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

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.
A Walk Across America, Peter Jenkins
such a great summer read...
Wings of the dove by Henry James
And People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.
