Often people borrow books that they want to read but disagree with so that they don’t support the author
Great point! Or books that you want to read but are so shallow that you can glean from it everything you need in one reading.
Public libraries are "reading libraries," or I call them "recreational libraries," and rarely have books that challenge or require work to get through.
I tried to find Issac Newton's Principia, a classical must-read, in my public library but it was not to be found. Not enough pretty pictures, I guess. But that might be one worth purchasing.
Women don’t think that way. That is a man’s way of thinking.
