Forums Literature In need of a book A.A kind of thing

Donator — 0% Edible Posted 4 years ago ( 2020/05/17 17:08:06 )

Because today I just bought two new books from our local dollar store, and just pre-ordered Jim Butcher's next novel in the Dresden Files series. All of this on top of at least 10 books I bought that have yet to be really read yet.

I have a problem. Send help.

Same. Library sales are my kryptonite. Some of my fave books were .25 purchases tho!

@Kitalpha Hart: Pride & Prejudice is my top five or favorite books honestly.
@Lilykin: Yeah I do that a lot on Amazon, since well honestly I can't easily get to anywhere else. Might switch over to using online thrift stores though. Be more supportive of the little guys.

But every time I see a book that actually looks good at the Dollar store, I just buy it.

@Another Movie Addict: I also got Little Women and The Art of War and Other Classics of Eastern Philosophy with it to read after
The latter seems to be primarily Chinese, but I imagine I can find a translation of The Pillow Book somewhere (I believe this one is Japanese in origin)

@Kitalpha Hart: Once I had a copy of Plato's The Republic, but mostly got bored with it. Lol guess I'm not as high brow as I may seem.

@Another Movie Addict: I think https://www.indiebound.org/ was the website my twitter feed was recommending. And most libraries have digital books you can check out!

@Kitalpha Hart: Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies but I can barely remember the lol

@Lilykin: Which one? >w> I've seen all but the Colin Firth one, not really a movie anyway. Just a mini-series. Some of them can kind of boring, by leaving out some really good scenes.

@Lilykin: There's an old black and white version that does not follow the book almost at all. The only parts it followed was the character names. It's still kind of entertaining to watch though.

I have literally hundreds of unread books and I keep buying them. I seriously need to stop. XD My wife and I have at least 27 bookshelves and many of them are double-stacked. And I read all the time! I just..tend to read things from the library, and not my own books. X_X
