That tends to be the case with me as well...which is why I enjoy going to the library. I used to go a lot when I was a kid but I stopped when I moved to this town because the library around here completely stinks. Even worse, everyone goes in to check out DVDs instead of books, can you guys believe that? A year ago, I had to go for a research paper and there were so many people in the DVD section...when I was in line, the guy in front of me was checking out "Sleepy Hollow," "Die Hard," and a couple of other films I couldn't see. Shows the level of intellect of the people here. Bookstores are even worse because everyone goes in to simply get a cup of coffee and chat with friends. Oh and some "browse" through books but they really don't buy anything. It's all for show really.

The site seems a great way to try out a variety of different books and getting rid of the ones you don't want but I think I just prefer to buy them even if they end up to be bad. But thanks for recommending the site anyway.
