I need to buy that book:<br />
<br />
- For my children to read...when they're old enough to learn to read.<br />
<br />
- Because I have a reputation to uphold as being at the cutting edge of modern literature and having that book sitting on my bookshelf will be proof.<br />
<br />
- The size of THAT book fits exactly into the only gap I have left in my bookshelf.<br />
<br />
- Because people keep bloody well writing 'em.

I need to buy that book because:<br />
<br />
I'm saving up for my retirement! I mean, I only have 15 years til retirement and I need to start stocking up on books because I don't want to have to choose between having something to eat and having something to read when I'm old and decrepit. (I wonder if I should buy some audio books just in case my eyes go bad?)<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure that my 401k plan has money invested in Amazon.com so am supporting myself by buying those books.<br />
<br />
Lifting all those boxes…

<br />
Lifting all those boxes of books whenever we move keeps my husband in great shape! <br />
<br />
If I don't spend the money on books, how else will I spend my children's inheritance? I hate shoes, don't wear jewelry and prefer to slosh around in jeans and t-shirts. How many books equals one Prada handbag, I ask you??? My husband has no idea how lucky he is. :-D <br />

It was the last copy at the grocery store. If I didn't buy it I would have had to waste gas and drive all the way across town to buy it. Do you know how expensive gas is? I just saved us money. <br />

Did I need the book? What does that matter?

Because, if I don't acquire them then my nice, mild, pleasantly quaint OCD issues will no longer remain an amusingly eccentic part of my personality ( no matter HOW much Paxil I feed it ! ), but a raving, savage beast that threatens to drive me mad until until it's placated. How's THAT for an honest answer? LOL<br />

Seriously, I have the same prob with DVDs. When one comes out that I need to see sitting on my shelf, I NEED to see it sitting on my shelf!<br />

I may not get around to actually watching it anytime soon, but dammit, I know it's there waiting for me whenever the desire to do so arrises. Though, times do vary greatly with those. I've still got DVDs that I HAD to have in my collection right away when I purchased my first DVD player back in early '99 that I STILL haven't actually gotten around to watching. But, I know they're there, just waiting for the day that I feel like watching them, that's the important thing. Right?

I buy books to save money. Library fines are way to expensive for me and once a book is on my TBR it can be read in days or it can take months. Libraries are not so happy when you want to keep a book six months because you just are not in the right mood yet. Plus someone has to make sure Sleuth is still there for another 20 or 40 years or so. I agree - it is a public service. We need more excuses to buy books. After all, they just feel good to hold and smell.

Because this one's so pretty...just feel the paper, look at the cover art, and what about that snazzy typeface? Oooh, and it's a good smellin' one, too! Besides, if I leave it here all alone, somebody else will get it first, and it really, really, really needs to come home with me!
