"Oh! I forget, you don't borrow books, you maim them."
My biggest peeve with Emma is this point exactly. She refuses to read any book she doesn't own because she wants to mark them up with her thoughts. But her library is pitifully small and hardly growing. Start a book journal?? Make notes elsewhere as you read? Imagine missing out on all the lovely books in the world just because you couldn't afford to own them.
