I keep buying books and adding to my TBR pile at home because I like it. Yes, I could just borrow books from the library, but I like buying books. I grew up a very poor bookworm. I only had access to books from libraries (not very good ones) or for free from whatever people discarded that I was lucky enough to get. I really like being able to financially support authors and bookstores now, especially while the authors are still alive to benefit from it. I couldn't afford it for most of my life, now that I can it's a treat I indulge in.
