Do you buy books you have already read? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Do you buy physical books you have already read?

For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.

Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.

I don’t really re-read books either.

Only very occasionally. Masters of Doom and Ubik are examples. I like being able to hand copies of books to friends and family to borrow and I can't do that with an ebook.

I tell myself I will reread some books, but I can't imagine ever really doing that. Maybe when my brain is less plastic some day.
