Is there a way to pick up glass after placing it? [duplicate]

After placing glass in Minecraft, I cannot pick it back up. I can break it but it does not go back into my inventory.

Is there any way I can pick it back up?

Glass Blocks can be picked up with a pickaxe that has the Silk Touch enchantment on it.

I believe that any tool with the silk touch enhancement will work.

You can check this question for ways of getting the enhancement.

According to ydobonebi in the OP's comments:

It's glass so what do you expect? This is normal behavior of the game. As with most blocks that don't drop or stop themselves, using a tool with silk touch will allow you to regain the glass.
