I bet you guys think owning a book actually means anything about you other than you had the means by which to buy it.

Actually the library in the university I go to is well stocked, but I don't just want to read the book, I want to own it as part of my collection of books.

Am I the only one who buys used books in the internet? I use Gutenberg Project, too, but I like to have them assembled on the shelf and to brag about it. Wannabe for the win.

I prefer reading a paper copy. I see no shame in purchasing cheap secondhand paperbacks and trading them in for new ones.
