>> You guys. What about libraries?
Libraries - don't have those in the countryside... have to go to
nearest town, ok only 8 miles away, but it does mean getting in a car.
My nearest library only lets you have books for a week - though they
can be renewed over the phone. I think a week is far too short a
time... I recall that when I was a child, the local library (in
London) used to let us have books for 2 weeks, or even longer
depending on the type of book.
>I rent movies so I can see them before I buy them;
I rent movies that I don't want to pay for in full. I buy the good
movies (from the US on import) before they come out in the cinema
here.
>I borrow books so I can read them before I buy them.
I don't borrow books because getting to the library is a pain, and I
forget to take the books back in time, so get charged for overdue
books.
