I certainly don’t mean to refer to myself as a candidate for Rational Man, but I do like owning books. Especially textbooks, I would not want to go down to the library every time I wanted to go through my copy of Sakurai. But even old favorite novels, it’s good to have them on the shelf, ready to throw in a saddlebag at a moment’s notice before a long train ride.
I’m pretty sure Rational Man never buys a book he can borrow for free from the local library.
