A good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. The worth of book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. Many person are having a habbit of reading the books and also mantaining the shelf of books at home. By reading the books knowledge increses and we also feel very relaxed. But for reading the books we have to purchase the book. When was the last time you bought or purchased a book for yourself?

I rarely buy books these day because I don't read as much as I used to. Besides, I have a huge library full of book, a huge number of which I have not read. The ones I have read I may have read two or three times...this doesn't worry me...I love to re-read some stories.

I like reading and I often buy books via the net. Actually yesterday Amazon just delivered me 8 books. They are books about science. My son likes reading books like that. And one book is concerning about the health. It is a book for myself because today we have many wrong concepts about the health. I love China

I bought a Manga volume back in August, I haven't had any extra fun money for awhile though, so I haven't bought any entertainment lately.

I bought a booi a coupke months ago. But normally I just borrow my daughter's. She has her own library o over two hundred books and she's read almost half of them. She always says the library is her second home. She's totally in love with the library down in Tennessee near the near house because it's so big. She would really like a job there too.

A few months back, although I haven't bought myself one for sometime. I actually mainly just buy my children books as they love story time and I find very little time to manage to read a big book. I dislike not being able to continue a story, so if I'm unable to continue on a day to day basis I don't read. I only ever manage to read a book every once in awhile, as I breaks put me off.

I haven't bought any book for a year now but before that I have bought so many books that some I haven't read yet. I just started to read the books that I haven't read so maybe I will buy one after I read them all. For those who have blogs and wants free books, try booksneeze.com. They give free books but you have to write a review about that book. My sister referred me to that site. I sign up and now all I have to do is wait for my free book. P.S. You will choose the book that you want in their available books section.

I usually just go the library because we travel so much its hard to collect books and then move them a few times a year. I do believe that books choose us, and even though we might not get into the subject matter we can still absorb the story and the characters. I write so its always nice to find inspiration or ideas from another writer. The last book I bought was 99 Coffins by David Wellington. He writes about vampires, real ones, not the touch feely romantic ones.

I never used to buy books. I always make downloads from the internet that which provide a pdf format for the text. I used to make it up for my exams and for all the rest. If the text is in the pdf format then we could easily carry them wherever we want to. Most of my friends do so and so do I. I would recommend all mylotters to download the e-books from internet and then make studies on certain things. Anyways the last book I bought from the market is the book named YOU CAN WIN by SHIV KHERA.

it was my mum who always buy the books for me even when i was in college when we were required to buy these nursing books such as medical-surgical book, nanda nursing diagnosis, fundamentals of nursing, nclex, etc.. i would just tell her the author and she will be the one to buy them. she also buys readers digest, english novels and self-help books. the last time i bought a magazine was 2years ago in a bookstore.

I actually just purchased the whole Little House on the Prairie series and it's amazing some of the things that pioneers did. I've learned a lot from them and really enjoy reading them. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I actually just went out and bought myself a few new books two days ago. I rarely buy books new, so when I do buy them, i tend to buy several at a time at a second-hand store. Reading haas been something that I have always enjoyd doing and is my main rlaxation method.

There are about 3 second hand book store branches near my house. I'd by a handful of books at one time just to make myself feel better. The last book I bought was The Beach by Alex Garland. I've been wanting to read it for a long time and I hardly ever saw it retail. My friend chipped in for me to buy it, since it was at a good price and he was just very very generous.

I buy books pretty regularly, both print and ebooks. I haven't bought any this month because I have so many waiting to be read. And I'm also getting ready for National Novel Writing Month, so I don't have a lot of free time for reading right now. But you don't always have to buy your books. If you're near a public library, you can borrow them. There are also a lot of free ebooks on the internet.

I'd love to read a good book and got a few in my shelf. Most of them were presents. Couldn't remember the last time I purchased one for myself. I would just usually borrow.
