| Evidence: | 'Novels, except of exceptional quality, I prefer to borrow as I read them, mainly for relaxation only and seldom wish to read the same book a second time, as my choice is usually very light. When I find a novel which appeals strongly. I buy it because I know I shall find pleasure in re-reading it.' |
