I'm not the type to spend a lot on a book. But I am the type to spend a lot to get an obscene amount of books. I went to a thrift store a week ago and only now have had the time to unpack what I bought.

It was a haul unexpected.

These are the paper bags that tend to tear when overfilled, as they are. I had to carry these like small children from my car to my home.

It really was like tetris trying to fit them all into these bags in the first place.

Total spent: $100.99

If I went to Barnes and Noble I'd maybe get 8 books for that if I was being thrifty.

That's all I've got. I moved into my new place a couple months ago and have been slowly getting furniture, and so while it's not /shelf/ I hope it counts. I just got a good job to where I can actually afford to buy books, and so I've been trying to build up a collection that I'll be happy to delve into.

I know pictures are no substitute for experience. But I hope at least you anons are encouraged by the fact that great books can be bought cheaply and locally if you take the time to sift through things at your local thrift store.

Have you ever bought books in second hand shops? It may not be as cheap as in the US, but it's nowhere near "every book is at least 10€".
Go to any Oxfam or to a flea market und you'll find more than enough cheap and interesting books. And in every bigger city there should be at least one used book store that has prices like these.

libgen. Literally everything is on there.

Get yourself an ereader and Calibre to put the shit on the ereader. I heard Kindle is hardest to deal with, but you can still crack it with calibre and get non-amazon books on there.

It might just be easier to get a different e-reader like the Kobo.
