In my teens, I used the library exclusively. Once I was on my own, I started buying. The problem is, I ran out of room. I found myself donating to the library after weeding out books.

Some books I’ll still buy if I can get a good deal on used books. I’ve bought used books on Amazon for $2 or $3. With Prime, shipping is free. I do buy all things Stephen King in hardcover, and I have a bookcase dedicated to him only. But I started using the library more and more the past 10 years because it’s more cost effective.
