When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

The Jenga tower looks familiar, and I'd love to have that "dream home."

The books I own are in "the library."

(10,039 posts)4. Can't you ask for them to get them?
I thought libraries are connected so that they can get what you want.

(4,482 posts)5. I just checked one title for our county in PA
None of the libraries in our county have a copy of the book; I may donate it to the library when I'm finished reading it.
Currently our local library has two copies of Dan Brown's Inferno, but none available for lending. I have my own copy at home. There is usually a waiting list for the most popular books.

Sadly, this is apparently a misquote.
I have turned my entire attention to Greek. The first thing I shall do, as soon as the money arrives, is to buy some Greek authors; after that, I shall buy clothes.
