Haha, it is funny.
I picked up The Queen yesterday. Watched it earlier, but am letting my sister watch it before I take it back

i've watched A Time to Kill and it really is a great movie. I never read the book though. Ashley Judd is such a great actress, i would she would act more

I can´t seem to stop myself from checking out books while my own sit on the shelves unread. I´m sure they´re mad at me. At least it´s way cheaper than buying them

My problem is when I return books to library, I can't help having a look around and finally bring other books out; when I really want to avoid that, I go to library a day when I don't have time enough to check other books or I sometimes ask my brother to return books for me. I could also take out 1 or 2 books (insted of 4 or 5) but it's always so hard to make a choice between all the good things on library shelves.

That´s very understandable In one library I have to pay a euro everytime I check books out and since I can check out as many as I want for that euro I think it´s a waste to only take out one book. That´s my excuse for checking out too many books

That's a very good excuse! I can't use it because checking out books is free here, in every library. I always think that, since I can borrow five books, why check out only one??
