　　Some People Like to Buy Books to Read, Other People Like to Borrow Books From Libraries orFrom Other People. Which Do You Prefer?

　　I like reading books. I not only buy books but also borrow books from libraries and from otherpeople. Over the years, this has become a habit. T his habit of mine is built upon the famoussaying "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed anddigested."

　　Every time I go to the book store, I will buy some books like dictionaries, reference bookswhich are of pragmatic use and classical literary works which are to be chewed and digested. Unlike some people who buy books just for the purpose of filling their shelves and s howingothers how learned they are, my purpose is simple and practical — reading. Moreover, the booksI want to keep are usually too expensive and I can afford only a few volumes.

　　From libraries I borrow books that are to be swallowed, because, on the one hand, library booksare not allowed to keep a long time; and on the other hand, the library is a sea of books and Ithink I have to do speed-reading, that is, to swallow as many as I can.

　　I also borrow books from friends, especially new ar rivals. I just want to have a taste. If thetaste is good, then I will go and buy them to add to my store. If not, well, just for a taste.

　　In short, I don't mind wher e I can get books, but books are always my source of knowledgeand wisdom
