Buying and also Lending Your Books to Other People.

Buying books. Now, that is something I do almost frequently only because I love to read and the books out there actually have a story to tell. I may buy a lot of books in one outing or in many outings, but I also try and to save my money at the same time, only because there are things out there that I should save my money for other than books. 
But I am also saying that buying books isn't also not a bad thing. But there are also times where you just need to just stop buying things and actually save money for when you really need it. It could be for an outing, a present that you want to give to someone for an occasion and yes, that could be a book, but buying books is a different from buying someone the whole entire world. Buying books is a lot cheaper than to buy something else and I mean you could always have hours of entertainment with a book, you do not have to charge it, it will always be there for you when you put it down and also when you pick it back up again. 
Buying books may be a lot for some people, considering that they do not have a lot of money and they're trying to save up for bills and things and I totally understand the fact that I still need to save my money as well, but just the joy of buying books make you even more happy having the book physically in your hands? I know just having books in my personal library makes me really happy, even though that I may not read them any time soon, I will read them eventually, not now, but eventually. I understand that if you need to save up money, libraries are a great way to borrow the books that they have and give it back when you're done and you can also save money at the same time. 
Libraries are just one of the beauties of reading books, and having a book in your hands for a while. Now, lending your books. Personally, I do NOT, under any circumstances, like lending my books out to other people, because when you give the book to them, they might not even read it. They will take forever reading it, they will damage your book, and also they might not even give it back to you. That's what I really hate about lending my books to other people, because of all of the reasons that I just said, it just makes me soo mad that they do that to my books, even though that I've never had someone return one of my books damaged or anything.
But what I want to know is that why they don't go to the library and borrow a book from there or just buy the book themselves? I mean I really understand it if and when they don't like a book and they've bought it, sometimes,  they can't just give it away. But when they've borrowed from the library, they can just say that they didn't like it and just give it back to the library and NOT BUY IT. Uh, hello? If you're going to be borrowing a book from me, DO NOT DAMGE IT, TAKE FOREVER READING IT OR EVEN TAKE FOREVER IN GIVING IT BACK TO ME. I'M NOT A PUBLIC LIBRARY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! If you want to make your own personal library then start buying books that you will ACTUALLY LIKE or ones that you think that you might like. 
Or just borrow them from the library and then decide if you like the book or not! I don't like it when people borrow a book from you and then they damage your book, uh hello, if you're going to be borrowing a book from someone, you might as well just do your best and try not to damage it and a lot of other things that I just said above. For me, I am NOT your personal library for borrowing books, and I never will be, ever. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go somewhere else, a library, a store, or someone who does not mind you borrowing their book, damaging it and other things. If you are going to be a book from me, you better not damage it, take forever in reading it and also take forever in giving it back to me. 
And if you do, I'm sorry, but you're going to be having to go somewhere else. Sorry, but again, I'm NOT your personal library, just go somewhere else and get your books there and not from me.
Anyways, if you've made it this far, I just want to thank you for reading this far and if you have any problems with lending out your books to other people, let me know in the comments! I'll write you next time!
