    The Library

    I know how the library can be a great thing sometimes providing books for basically free, but at the same time I find it extremely frustrating.

    For example, I'm reading Game of Thrones a Song of Ice and Fire which is like a 600-700 page book. There is no way that I am going to finish that in like the 2-3 week period they give me.

    I'm beginning to think that I should just buy the entire series on Amazon tbh. I feel like that's where society is headed right now, Amazon is kind of becoming the go-to guy for all your needs and necessities which is interesting imo.

    What are your thoughts?

    Renew it when your 3 weeks is almost up. Or if another patron places a hold on it -- as some libraries allow -- and it cannot be renewed, borrow it from a different branch, if your library has them.

      Yah I get that, I do but this book is so popular where I live it's hard to find any other branches with copies. :/

      I really am beginning to think I should just buy the whole series, it's like $20 on Amazon for all of them.

        If it was a major interest of mine and that hard to find, I likely would (buy it) too, at a price like that... or be prepared to wait it out to read it.

        It sounds like you have already made your decision.
