For us it has largely become a space issue. I am a bibliophile to the point that I probably need therapy. We have hundreds of hundreds of books, half of which haven't even been read. In our last move we didn't even manage to unpack most of them because we just plain don't have that much shelfspace.
So, I've finally converted over to actually using a library. Which makes sense seeing as how I am, after all, a librarian.
The thing I really don't like about library books is the coffee stains. And the
dried boogers. But maybe that's an Oklahoma thing.
