They have to really, <i>really</i> suck before I'll get rid of them. But then I do go back and reread books a number of times over usually, and my favourites a whole bunch of times. Consequently I have 7 bookcases. I'm with you Ali, the thought of having to wait anywhere without a book makes my neck sweat. I only have an 8 minute train ride to work, but I still cram in as many pages as I can. I hate parting with books. They have to really, really suck before I’ll get rid of them.

It amazes me what people do on the interwebs. Did you see the story about the woman who tried to hire someone via Craig's list to kill her romantic rival? I wonder if she's ever gotten a tattoo from a door-to-door salesman with a homemade tattoo gun? Yeah, I guess, all though it doesn’t sound like she’s looking for something online specifically…

We have so many books in our home. And I LOVE books. I love the way they smell and I love holding one in my hands and sticking one in my bag to read later. But due to space limitations, I try to avoid buying them the way I used to. Also, book rental services DO exist:
