Apparently it's National get a library card week in the United States. So, do you usually buy your books from a book store or do you rent them from a library?
I picked "Other" because I borrow books from the library en masse, but I'll buy a book from Hasting's every so often. Of course, I'm more likely to sit down at Hasting's for three hours and just read till I finish it than I am to blow twenty bucks.

*ahem* Anyway, I'm generally broke, and I don't like spending money anyway, so it's the library for me. I usually go about once every 2 weeks and get about 20 books.
I said other because I used to get them from the library but I can't anymore and the book store is hours away. I just joined a site where you can get almost any book for free so I use that alot, and sometimes I order from Amazon.

You know you are obsessed when you know enough quotes that you could use a new one everyday for almost a year!
I haven't read a book in the longest time, it seems. O_o
I prefer libraries, since I have pretty much no space in my room for books. I used all the spaces I have up. But no one will take me to the library anymore, so...

I like the Library, but you can't beat the feeling/smell/etc of a good bookstore.

I tend to but. I like rereading so much that it's not really worth borrowing them because it'll just drive me insane when I can't read it again and again and again.
Plus, I also like new books. And old books, if they're well kept old books, but I really have a thing for new books.

I cant rent books from the libraries. I lose books more often then I find them ^.^. Besides, why should I have to rent when my nice, kind, -spoilshisdaughterrotten- father pays for all my new books? bookstores ftw.. I have two barnes and nobles book stores within 1/2 hour of my house ^.^ now, sometimes I Do have to earn the books, but as long as my grades stay above a B, its all good... ^^ bookstores ftw!
