Now when I read a book I think - What was the $20 idea I got from this book? That could be a neat short review website - what was the $20 idea you can get out of the book? I like the perspective.

Jarvis Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:24:31 +0000 http://blog.paulsingh.org/?p=66#comment-74 The public library isn't quite the no-brainer option that librarians would like you to think it is. I've borrowed tons of books, but I've also had quite a few experiences with the library not having a particular book I needed or the book was checked out with a lengthy (i.e. months long) waiting list. Time is as valuable as money, often more so. Paul's point is to think of the book cost as an investment instead of as an expense. If people would apply a little cost benefit analysis to their spending, their spending patterns would probably change greatly for the better.

I'm always in the middle of at least two or three at a time. Cookbooks, financial planning books, investing guides, health and fitness books... the list is long. But I can't remember the last time I bought a book (except for some that I've bought for 75 cents at the library friends bookstore as gifts). I check everything out of the library, either from our local branch or through interlibrary loan. Serves two purposes - I never pay for the books, and they don't clutter up my house when I'm finished with them. I love books. I’m always in the middle of at least two or three at a time.

Why not pick up a book a week for free, then take copious notes and post them to http://bookoutlines.pbwiki.com? Ah, but there are so many good books at your local public library.

I HIGHLY recommend it, particularly for your female audience. For $20, it was some of the most vaulable career advice I've ever received.
