Goooood I hate spending money in such huge amounts. I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money when I look at a list of books that I need. But by some awesome act of god, someone put a used book on the shelf that I needed when I looked around a second time, and it's a rental-optional book. My god, yes.

Oh jesus the only word worse than textbook is "edition"

NOPE CAN'T HAVE THAT BOOK FOR THIS CLASS OR GIVE IT TO BUYBACK MIGHT AS WELL BURN IT

Firebending would never be as convenient as it would now. So you are alive, hooray! Are you enjoying your box of media Megan and I lent you?

Ommmmg yes, I already went through Ponyo and loved the crap out of it, and finally finished reading Watchmen before letting my dad read it too :D Then we watched the movie together
And I devoured that Sweet Stout omg so tasty. Megan added her Dr. Slump to the pile, and ffff I ripped through that series in like the first two nights. So cute omg ;A; That's as far as I've gotten RIGHT NOW, and I've been piling through the series The Big Bang Theory before I move on to NHK or Buso Renkin. Gonna be sticking one of the batmans in my bag for some downtime reading though.

This is going to keep me busy for AGGEESSSS

Take your time, it'll probably be awhile before we can all butt around together again. I'm going to try to take Megan's spring break off which is the week of the 14th so if your free that fri-sun things may happen.

Seems just having a book classified as a "textbook" seems to rationalize charging an exorbitant price for it, as I found out when I tried to order a book at a Barnes & Noble recently.

My favorite ones are the texts required that were written by your teacher. I don't have THEIR section thankfully, but I saw it.

For that I would get in on a group to buy one copy, cut the binding off, then either scan it or copy it off and share it with others in the group.

I used to have a lead on free, or reduced-price college texts online, and all legal. Haven't been able to find it in years.
