See zoethe's recent post on her daughter's feelings about reading books from libraries for lots of extreme views on either side. Her daughter thinks "reading library books is like...touching a stranger's underwear." (Hope she doesn't mind the quote) I, on the other hand, couldn't live without library books. Call me non-fastidious...or possibly stingy. Or just generally poor.

Hehehehe, to be honest, I've had the same thoughts about library books. I kind of feel like the books are passed around too much. I don't know where they've been. I don't know how clean the people who had them before me were, etc etc.

Of course, I'm a person who doesn't mind buying used clothes (including nightgowns and socks, but I draw the line at underwear!) so I'm pretty impervious.

However, I do sometimes see dirt in library books that makes me turn the page quickly.
