good to see a person who borrows their
books from the library
I usually do, yeah, basically because it's cheaper, so I can spend my money on cd's. Cd's I'll listen to a lot, whereas a book will only be read once every few years
i've had so much trouble with the library cos I forgot to return the books on time....
That occasionally happens with me - because there are small libraries connected all over the Highlands, I have to order pretty much every book I read, so I often end up with a large pile of books to read. I then forget about the return date, and end up with 15p per day fine on every book. Still, my family uses the library a lot, so I think a couple of quid is the largest fine I've knocked up...
One main complaint with libraries is that they can take so damned long to get books in! An extreme case was that I was waiting for book 6 of the Wheel Of Time for 6 months before they told me they couldn't get it in, so I had to buy it instead!
Something quite frightening in my local library is that almost all the fantasy books are there by my ordering
It used to be the case when I was younger (9 or 10) that almost the whole teenage section was there because of me!
Noughts and Crosses is the British name for Tic-Tac-Toe- noughts are 'O's
Really you ought to be saying that tic-tac-toe is the American for noughts and crosses
Who's that book by? I have a feeling one of parents has either read it or owns it.
