By the way, given that you are evidently also an avid reader....how do you get by without using the library?

I go into withdrawal just thinking about trying to make it through my days without having access to more books than I can buy myself. I average maybe a book every two or three days, stretched out to a week or more on a few particularly long ones. (For example, Steven Erikson's books usually take me several days.) Even if I were stripping Half-Price Books' bargain section bare of anything remotely readable on a regular basis I think I'd run dry sooner rather than later.

You really should. Even if you're terrible about returning things on time I suspect you'd average less money spent.

Although you're not alone. I'm amazed how many people I run across who love books, love reading, and appear to never go near libraries. I can sort of understand that with people like my parents (who love to read but rarely have time, therefore don't need to load up on books), but for people who *do* go through books quickly...
