just realised why people borrow books from the library

presumably they read so much that it would cost them far too much to buy every book they wanted to read

libraries can be used to save money for now but they were around before the internet. people didnt have internet to discover books. the library was the internet of books, thats all the selection they have

and i suppose book stores

when I was a kid i’d read ~3 hours a night, I ended up reading so fast my parents would stop letting me buy books so I had to reread.

I kinda get it now, looking back I realllyyyy racked up those amazon purchases (it was a kindle)
