If I’m not reading books, I’m reading ABOUT books. When I’ve found a book I’d like to try, I add it to my To Be Read list (currently at 302 books – Yikes!). I then reserve it at my local library, or buy it, but I have no qualms about not finishing a book if it doesn’t suit me, hence borrowing is preferable to buying.
