Basically I have two hobbies. I am both addicted to reading & buying gorgeous books. I want to have a nice library with classics to pass on to my future children. It just makes me happy seeing all those shelves.
So I prefer buying books in English since it’s the most spoken language but I prefer reading in my own language (Dutch). Is it weird to buy them in English but to borrow them from the library to read in dutch?
I just feel like I’m wasting my money because I don’t even read the specific books I bought and have them in case I want to re-read. But then I think spending money on books is never wasted.
Basically I want confirmation that I’m not wasting my money and maybe to know others do the same so I don’t feel bad lol
In computer science, we call something like that RAID 1.
You could also snag a free e-copy of most older classics here: Project Gutenberg
You could store them on Kindle Scribe or other e-reader. Or just a regular PC or hard drive.
Happy collecting!
Not really, since OP is not reading the English books.
