to buy, or not to buy?

how do i know if i should buy a book?
because i love buying books. i love owning books. i LOVE it.
but they're sooo expensive. and i've decided that buying books kills unneccessary trees, but i can't stop myself.
it's too hard!
and i want to own the perks of being a wallflower
and wake
((although i would have to wait for Wake to be in paperback, hardcover makes me madder)) ((which means i'll be waiting for another year for that one))
and Perks is like 14 or 15 bucks. and hardcover Wake is like 16 bucks.
i don't have $30 to dish out for books!
((but i'm not buying hardcover wake, so the price should be lower))
and, i don't want to kill the trees!
but it's either buy them or steal them from the library, or just constantly renew them. i've had Perks for way too long.
i just like having it there, knowing that i could read it whenever i wanted.
maybe i just need some barns and nobel gift cards for mi cumpleano. (hinthint.) (JK)
and i need to study my espanol...

haha yewsguys make me laugh. i don't want the little library stamp and crap all over my "lost" *cough*stolen* books. your books are due on the 11. cd was due monday, but i renued it for another week. so get it in, and make sure it's in the non book drop, or it's five dollars on my head.

genious idea i just figured out.
barnes & noble gives free shipping if you spend 25 bucks, so dont worry about ordering online.
go to the website and look up a book you want.
click on it.
then click on buy it used.
they give cheap prices for books that may be signed by authors or may be completely new.
thats what im doing.
