We owned no books in my home so I am grateful to public libraries, I can assure you. For me the consequences have been different, however. I still feel I have to be very thrifty which is one of the reasons why most of my books are second-hand paperbacks (well, another reason is that when British and American readers pay for the paperback, I pay for the shipping). <br />It is the same with clothes, really. My daughters laugh at me when I buy something new, put it in the closet for ages and wear my old jeans nine days out of ten. Silly, I know, but there you are.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-75908701629086083652009-08-18T21:30:43.778+01:002009-08-18T21:30:43.778+01:00Louise, I wouldn´t put it past you ;)Louise, I wouldn´t put it past you ;)Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-27016549686730740702009-08-18T20:14:52.298+01:002009-08-18T20:14:52.298+01:00I used to have a terribly expensive habit of going...I used to have a terribly expensive habit of going to bookstores as an escape from what seemed at the time to be unbearable doldrums. To assuage my down-and-out attitude, and to avoid hanging out in bars (which only exacerbates the spin within the maelstrom of depression), I would scour stores and buy books--lots of books! It seemed to be some sort of over-the-top corrective for my youth when I yearned for books, but my parents had no money for such "luxuries." Now, with life being full of ironies, publishers send me more books than I can ever get around to reading, and that means I no longer need to prowl the bookstores with credit card in hand. My purchases now are more focused and less manic. Well, you asked the question, but I suspect you've heard more than you bargained for this time around.R/Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07791522136032565027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-90147908456619136002009-08-18T17:50:46.756+01:002009-08-18T17:50:46.756+01:00Yes!

I love to shop books, whether it is for comfort or because I "need" the book :-)<br /><br />Hope your mood and your day lightens up a bit.<br /><br />We have reasonable weather in Copenhagen, and I still have 5 more days of vacation....Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.com
