that makes me want to buy them...what is it? I love book stores. I love the smell of new books. I have seldom returned from a book store without buying a book. The sad truth, however, is that most times I end up NOT reading them or only half reading them. The only explanation I have for this is that i'll buy the books now when I have the money but no time to read them so that I can read them later when i have the time but no money!I wonder how many people read all the books they buy.
Some of the reasons why people buy books
- they buy books for "intellectual credibility" of the Bookshelf" and have no intention of actually reading them
- far too often people are buying books because they think they will be good for them, rather than because they think they'll enjoy them
- there are certain books that everyone buys because the whole world has read them
- half of the top 10 non-fiction books people buy but don't read are autobiographies
So, what are your reasons for buying a book?
