I’ve read a lot more than these, but these are my favourites that I can remember. I regret not turning on my library borrowing history earlier. I also regret throwing away this two-inch-thick stack of library receipts that I kept for a while.
I like collecting library cards from places I’ve been to. It is a bit embarrassing to just randomly ask for a library card if I don’t live or work in the city, but it’s worth it in the end.
