I have a genetic abnormality that prevents me from spending money. But I don't even buy thrift store books anymore. Space is so valuable. If they could make an e-reader that felt and looked like a book. . . . .
Books... What are you reading? And what do you recommend?

Believe it or not there are these places called library's where you can rent books for free.

It's not your typical hunting for Sassy book, more a travelogue that focuses on the culture of First Nation inhabitants in small settlements in the Great Bear Rain forest in British Columbia and what Bigfoot means to them. Generally got good reviews.

I'm big on the library, I use this site: https://www.fantasticfiction.com/coming-soon/?page=1&cover=&range=next90days&genre=&sortby=2 to put books on hold, usually have 20 or 30 in the que.

I used to rent movies from the library. You gotta hope your local library has a nice collection. Eugene Oregon public library has the best collection I have seen. But they smelled like mold like most everything from that dirty disgusting library. People would line up to shoot up in that library bathroom and then wash and bathe themselves in there afterwards.

Writing is a trip. The story gets stuck in your head, and it's all you think about. I wrote for 4 1/2 years, pretty much night and day. Then stopped cold turkey. I guess I got it out of my system. Tried a couple of time to finish up what I was working on, but it was gone.

I recorded a lot of CD's I got from the library as well. Some really good blues collections.

GWN says that's a problem in his library too. Thankfully ours is pretty nice. They have an interlibrary loan program that gets books/movies/music from all over the state. Nice because they go into university/college stacks for the rare stuff. Most libraries have this type of loan program.

Our main library is next to my work, so I used to be a regular customer. Real nice place, and good folks working there. But small town. . . . .

The ladies would always work with me getting books in order when I was reading a series. Sometimes you have to pay a buck if it's from out of system.
