"I used to think that if I bought a book and I didn’t read it, it was a waste of time.I don’t believe that way anymore; now I buy books if I like the author, book title, and especially the topic if I am working on the subject.You know learning should not stop. I truly believe continuous learning is the only way to grow."

Maybe a question of language here as this seems contradictory. Buy books as a repository of knowledge and enjoyment to keep dipping in to

- If do not read, indulge in meaningful conversation, watch and listen to quality multimedia productions - then do not learn and grow.

If buy books to stack on shelf or leave in a digital library? Hang on now, this defeats the point of the objective in this age of search engines and digital engagement (a mountain of crap out there where we all need to sort the gems from the mass of torpidity)
