I stopped printing receipts. I'm not buying the books I'd check out of the I=library anyway.

I read some were that people buy books because they are buying the illusion that they will have the time to read them.

Um.... This is a for fun kind if thing. I don't think anyone really means you would actually buy all the books, just what it would cost if you did.
There's a reason I put this in Entertainment...

I wish my library did that! It's just an illusion because I would never buy all the books that I read. If I had to buy them I'd probably buy them used and read very few books at all. Or I'd become a real pest and borrow from people who do buy. Just the same, it would be fun to know the dollar value of all that I do read.

The library I use tracks the nintendo games we borrow too- at $60 a pop it adds up very quickly.

I wasn't sure but they have a calculator and also tell how many checkouts. I've checked out 4500 books and that would equal way more, so must be from only part of my history.

I wonder if you borrow the same thing more than once do they add the amount each time. There’s some kids books I’ve borrowed a good dozen times
