Do you buy physical books you have already read?

For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.

Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.

I don’t really re-read books either.

I don't re-read books but I absolutely buy physical copies of books I've bought digitally or borrowed from the library/a friend.

A book that really touches you is a special thing, and it's nice to have a physical object on your bookshelf which you can see and be reminded of. It's also nice to go "YOU HAVEN'T READ X? HERE PLEASE READ IT"
