    But not having books on your shelves is not a green flag, it just might not be a red flag.

      The most prolific readers I know use the library almost exclusively. Real book a week people don’t buy the books they read! They’d be broke!

      That said, they still own a million books because even if they’re only buying a fraction, they still fill up their bookcases

        Totally this I read an absolute ton (and more even if you count audio books, which I do) and the vast majority is from the library. Even easier now with ebooks and apps. I’ve still got a pretty full bookshelf though of things like Illustrated editons, some real nice printings of some of my favorites, older books, and comics/graphic novels.
