when you can just go to the library

seriously it is such a waste of money to buy books. you read them once and then you have a bunch of stuff to find storage for

it's so stupid

I'm sick of following my dreams.
I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

I hate the library. And they NEVER have any good books I want to read.
Therefore, I'd rather "waste" my money and buy them.

Sometimes books have mysterious stains though.

I like to have my university books at quick reference. I live an hour away from uni. Also, libraries here aren't readily available with all the books you would ever want. As for novels and such, I just prefer buying the book, it's the same with music cds and such. It's just a preference.

I have a shelf full of nothing but hard back books. True, going to the library will save a lot of money and all, but sometimes you just want to own the book.

I buy all my books. Seriously, alot of books, that I want are not in the library, and I love having books, to always refer back to. It helps, when you own the book, and a school project comes up and all you need to do is look back, grab the book, and now use it for that project.
