Why are books so expensive? I can’t make brain gains if I can’t afford to stock my shelves

Why are books so expensive? I can’t make brain gains if I can’t afford to stock my shelves.

You didn't even finish reading your shelf though.

go to the library
torrent that shit
read what you already own
ask to borrow a recommendation from a friend
steal from barnes and noble
make no excuses

Do odd jobs for homeless people like cutting their grass so you can make money and do moral good.

You can't even spend 30 bucks a month on books? If you buy second hand that's way more books than you could possibly read in a month.

>steal from library
>read them
>sell them online
>buy more books

Libaries are a thing, kiddo

No sympathy for the wicked, OP.

>Why are books so expensive?
Books have always been expensive. Go to yard sales. BRAINLETS CAN'T EVEN GET THEIR FIX

I only buy books that I've already read and actually want.

Buy used dude.
So cheap.
I buy all austen, tolstoy, dickens, etc modern penguin $1 each.

>jobs for homeless people like cutting their grass
the irony

gutenberg.org and a sub-$100 ereader off ebay

>modern penguin $1 each
Used bookstores usually charge more than $1 for big name editions that people collect like modern penguin

What exactly are you buying? It's extremely cheap to get a massive collection you will never be able to read. Start reading what you have and when you have nothing else you can complain. Alternatively get a damn Kindle Paperwhite. You can pirate books or get them for much cheaper from Amazon.

I'll gladly give you mine if you pay the shipping

you can always get a free bible

$11/mo is approximately 3 books from Thriftbooks you broke dick nigga.

But a Kindle/Kobo literary any e-reader and then use Library Genesis (gen.lib.rus.ec) to download anything you want.

maybe if you go to trash places like the strand or something

>the strand

awful tourist trap for pseuds
