Still working on Red Mars... slowly.... If it doesn't get better soon, Scott is going to have a lot to answer for!
But! For your reading pleasure: Booking Through Thursday this week asks about what kind of books you collect.
• Hardcover? Or paperback?
• Illustrations? Or just text?
• First editions? Or you don’t care?
• Signed by the author? Or not?
I'm not much of a book collector, myself. I used to buy books all the time, as my recent discovery proves, but poor college-me was much more a fan of the library and that's stuck pretty hard. These days I only want to own books that I've already read and loved, but I still don't really want to pay for them, so it's mostly paperbacks that I get. I also like the fact that paperbacks are less bulky. However, I certainly appreciate the hardcovers that I receive, since they'll likely last longer and do look more imposing on my shelf. :)

I don't buy many books, but the funny thing is, I don't usually borrow them either. They just kind of magically appear...
This is weird!
I also like buying books after having read them from the library and loved. :)
