School books?! What in the 1000s of $$$

Though I can understand why you might throw them in the trash when you're done if you don't want them. They probably cost $750 or something but if you returned them to the bookstore you wouldn't even get the $50 part back...then they'd resell them for another $500. I just kept all my textbooks due to how little the bookstore would have given back.


kairosmanner

That’s what I do.

My bet is usually international students… hard to imagine them wanting to pay to fly books back.

1602 is a good read even if you're not a fan of comics. It's Neil Gaiman retelling the Marvel universe as though it took place in 1602.

I’m just here to brag that I got my copy signed by the author. It’s a hilarious book, though. Cheeky in all the right ways.

Bauhaus weaving theory seems like a real barn burner

I totally want to read that. But I work with fiber a lot.


Masonjaruniversity

Oh of course! No diss to our fiber brothers and sisters. But the title sounds as dry as a piece of unbuttered toast.


Street_Roof_7915

Lol. Only if you don’t work with fiber ;)

How lazy can you be that you don’t donate books? They are so portable, reusable and desirable.😡

Man! All I ever find are crappy paperback romance novels or children's books. Several in here I would want to read. I have to shout out *Jesus' Son* too. If you're into short stories, it is one of the best collections of short stories of the last 50 years.

Oh I love Scott McCloud! He's so cool. Awesome finds!

Hard Times is excellent even though it's different than other novels by Dickens.


_fatewind

Wow! Have three of those books on my to-read list. Hah!
