It cost less than $20 and I’ve already taken out about 30 books, so you don’t need to crack open a MS Excel spreadsheet to see the financial value. What I love about the library, though, is that it encourages me to read books I wouldn’t otherwise pick up in a bookshop: Really old classics of Sci Fi; Things I should have read as a teenager but never got round to; Genres I don’t normally read; Authors I’d not typically consider. Anything that makes it easier to read and broaden your perspective has got to be good for your writing, right?
Oh, and I’ve also been able to read – basically for free – more Carl Hiaasen novels than I’d ever be able to find in a bookstore.
