I'm cheaper than any of you. Our local libraries sell paperbacks for $.25 or $.50. I've got about 4 local and county libraries within a 10 mile drive. I stock up there periodically. Then when I finish a book on the road, I abandon it.
I travel a lot to places where there is little activity in the evening, and no English TV other than CNN type shows. I read omnivorously, and like buying books on the cheap.
