the library

[dice]

im just curious what some of your opinions are on libraries. I have a long list of books I want to read (self-help and money making) nd I m not sure to buy them or hunt them down at libraries. It seems to me to really internalize all the information in a book one would have to own it so he has unlimited access to it as opposed to the library you cant highlight and its restricted access. This is to people that have read books such as psychocybernetics, unlimited power, the seven pillars of self esteem, rich dad poor dad and books like these. Library or buy them ?

i buy all my books. I like having a fresh copy to myself. I dont want some used copy who knows how many people dragged into the sh1tter with them.

Plus its good for reference and for rereading if you felt inclined to.

Haha, yeah I remember "Bookman".

"You a funny guy?"
"You ever seen a man die, Seinfeld?"


My golden rule is, borrow from the library to test drive it, then if you like it, buy it.

Kind of like dating women.

I used to work as a librarians assistant when I was in College. I rarely buy new books unless it's a cheap paperback. I always look for books in a library first. If theres something in a book you'd like to keep for easy reference every library has a copy machine you can use.

Libraries are a good way to save money. I read all the Lord of the Rings and I'm currently in the Process of Reading the Harry Potter series and I havn't spent a dime.

"Think about that, and while you're thinking about that, think about this."
