changed so that I could no longer afford to buy very many books. I rediscovered the joys of the public library. In fact, I'm annoyed at myself, totally aside from the money aspect, that I'd abandoned the public libraries just because I could afford to buy whatever books I wanted.

Nowadays I rarely buy a book, and absolutely revel in the joys of the public library. Yes, there are times when they don't have a book I'd like to read, but luckily for me I have such a wide range or interests that I can simply go on to the next book.

One reason I don't own any of the e-readers is that I don't get spending money to download books I can check out for free in the first place.
