We were talking the other night in the newsroom about why I keep getting all these new books mailed to the station. It dawned on me that I can't stand 'renting' a book from the library. I have to own the book that I'm reading. Odd I know. But I know several people like this. I think the number one reason is I don't want to feel rushed, secondly I like to see them on my book shelf and then there is the rare occurrence that I will read it twice....that' very rare.
With movies on the other hand I don't like to own them, instead rent. When I buy them they get scratched, lost, borrowed and never to be returned. I rarely watch a movie more than a couple times so it seems like a waste to buy em.
Hmmmm.....maybe I'm just weird. lol

Yep, you're just weird :o)
I just usually borrow books and movies. It's cheaper for me that way! Then I wait until movies get to the $9 or $5 shelf at Wal-Mart and buy them then. I wish that we could just borrow books for college instead of buying them.
Speaking of borrowing books, my roommate got a couple of books from the campus bookstore free on accident, so we are going to share them. YAY for free books!
You need one of those "things" from Amazon...I cant remember what its called!
Hang a min...I'll go dig around.
