I haven't done the math on "value" read, but I do 15-20 hours of audiobook (because 2x speed) on work days. It definitely can make finding new reads a challenge.

some libraries include that fun little stat on your slips.

That is exactly how I know ! Glad my library system isn't the only one that does that.

you've 'spent' as much on books in five months as i have in, like, twenty years. but i don't always actually check books out. i often just go there (it's only a block away), grab a book, find a sofa to sit on, and read it.. cover-to-cover, then put it back where i found it.

Mmmh that sounds lovely but I unfortunately do not have that luxury as I do not live in the same town as my library.
