I spent my money on books AND clothes. Both make me happy.

I've rescued from garbage trucks Ovid, Ouida, Maupassant, DH Lawrence, Maugham, Yogananda...which will have to be pryed from my cold, dead, hands someday. If I had my way, I'd read eighteen hours a day. Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure of dating a femme who "smelled of the lamp" of midnight oil.

I use the Library a lot and if I like a book, I'll buy it from Waterstone's or Amazon. With travelling so much and losing books when moving, I've kept my book collection down to a minimum. Once I settle down somewhere that I know will be permanent, then I'll re-start my book collection again. |

Love it... |
I've been known to walk into a book store and cry....tears of happiness, as I didn't know where to begin.
I've been known to buy a book simply by what it felt like in my hands. Most times, the book touched my heart in some way. I love to travel..........and two of my best memories are The Tattered Cover in Denver and Powel's in Portland....I don't remember much else about Denver and Portland. There is just something about the smell of a book store that makes me drunk with happiness. There are books/book cases in almost every room in my home. I need more of both....... :eyebat: |
Aside from my friend persiiiiiiiiiiii - Powel's is the best thing in Oregon. I got to go there for the first time earlier this year and it was heaven. I think persi and I spent 2 hours in the queer and feminist sections alone. And then there were the cookbooks!! I didn't even make it to the other sections I was exhausted.

I love books too. But I'm going to try and switch over this semester and have all my text books on my ipad.

I had a friend in college who was so obsessive-compulsive with everything in life that she used a ruler when she would highlight! I hear you on the tree thing, though. |

I have tried using digital textbooks and not enjoyed the experience. However, there are some great auxiliary apps that have enhanced learning for me. Here's to the technological imperative!

I realised that I should date a girl who reads, the first time I dated one who didn't. She seemed to think that reading meant I was doing nothing, and felt compelled to find an activity for me. She didn't last long...

I don't write in the margins very often. I do however highlight some pages. If I am researching for an article I am writing I will use lots of arrow post-its.
I don't own too many books, most of them I get from the library. I have thought about an electronic book, however my research has shown me that I can't (yet) get the obscure titles I read. Otherwise I would switch. Alas, it is not yet to be. I do subscribe to my magazines and journals online. I do like that. |
I love reading, and am considering getting a Kindle soon. I love books, and am afraid I'll miss holding the book in my hand, but there are two of us in a 500 sq ft apartment and we're running out of room for more stuff. I also kind of have a habit of not remembering to return books to the library, so... :|

When I got my nook (that I have since given to my Mum in anticipation of an ipad 3) I was worried I'd miss actual books too much. Thus far it doesn't bother me to use an e-reader or my phone. It's easier on my luggage costs when I travel, and I never forget to turn out the light.
Being able to download books is a dangerously delicious expense though..... Quote:

This is me!!!
I have so many books my hubby started throwing them out, then when I cried, he bought me a Kindle :cheer: Now he brings me home magazines and ignores the small pile of books which is growing on my desk. He loves me, particularly as I buy him books too! |
