college students, who else has to spend hundreds of dollars on textbooks this semester?
bitch about it here.
i'm glad that one of the books i need is published online by MIT and there's no way in hell i'm paying $13 for a copy of Descartes' Philosophy. i found it on the net.
we need scan groups to scan books and release them as pdfs on p2p networks :) |

My history class alone had FIVE books!!!!!!!! :whip: uggggggggggggggh
And I'm taking five instead of four classes, and they are all difficult. I'm starting to think I overdid myself. On the transcripts my SA checked "Extreemely difficult" for this semester. :clown:
I think I spent about... I want to say 700$ on books? Thank God for scholarships or the cost of books would make me quit school! |

| mm im usually lucky on books for some reason - or at least i dont tally the total at all so i can pretend its not much. this sem sucked because i had no money. thank god amazon exists tho - the mailman brings you the books, and i paid 1 dollar for one of them, and got my 85 dollar text for SYMBOLIC LOGIC for 10 bucks. damn that class sucks| |

what also sucks is textbooks with online components that are required.
my psych class uses such a book and even if i were to somehow manage to locate the PDFs, i still wouldn't have the online account. and i'm not gonna risk getting a used copy either, what if that doesn't work?
but at least i found 4/5 books for my philosophy class online, the last one isn't even in the bookstore! |
