< the library

~2pie


Libraries are the among the best places on earth: lots of book, and reading is free (almost). Anyone can stay there without paying anything (sorry midnight pub^^).


If had to buy all the books I read I wouldn't have much money left... Actually, I think I will try to calculate that !


I've bought a second hand e-reader, and use libgen to download books, which is also a good way to read a lot for free. Plus some books are not available at the library.

But paper books are much more enjoyable :) Plus human contact and so on...

i had started to get some epubs from libgen but i felt bad about pirating books haha and there's no way i could afford to buy every book i have on my tbr, so i renewed my card :) it is nice to have physical books in my hands again though! i love the smell of old books, and with libraries you have a chance to find mementos from the previous patron still tucked between the pages. i think that's kind of sweet <3
