Borrow something outside of your comfort zone. Like way out. At worst, it'll be a fun story to tell here.

I can afford books, but I might as well make use of the library my property taxes are paying for.

So, your problem is that you "have nothing to read." You have access to thousands of free e-books through your computer, thousands of free physical books in your library, thousands of books in local bookstores or online (if you lowered yourself to buy something), and you can't find anything to read.
Look, I have a stack of culls and duplicates that I keep around for my friends to choose from, and periodically donate to the library booksales. I just restarted last week, so it's slim pickings, but if you want anything, stop by and grab it for free.

I just have extremely specific reading preferences. I make a list of books and try to read through them in a relatively straight order.

As he crossed toward the pharmacy at the corner he involuntarily turned his head because of a burst of light that had ricocheted from his temple, and saw, with that quick smile with which we greet a rainbow or a rose, a blindingly white parallelogram of sky being unloaded from the van—a dresser with mirrors across which, as across a cinema screen, passed a flawlessly clear reflection of boughs sliding and swaying not arboreally, but with a human vacillation, produced by the nature of those who were carrying this sky, these boughs, this gliding façade.
