Evidently you are unable to read. Stand still while I coof on you.

Thriftbooks

you can find used books online at garage sale prices. Though....admittedly it seems like prices have gone up since the virus.

>Is there anything better than garage sales where books are 5 for a dollar?
The dump. I got a world Atlas, a pristine copy of Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization", "Notes From Underground" by Dostevsky, and some others I can't remember.

A couple of weeks ago I bought sound of waves by Mishima for 1€ on eBay

I live in a town with a big public university that pretty regularly has library sales. They give you a paper bag and you can just fill it to the brim for $8. I go whenever they have them and basically just pick up anything I've ever even considered reading.

Damn, I gotta see if the university near me does that.

I've tried reading this 2 times now and can't get past page 3. I love history but it's so fuckng boring I can't give it a chance

Also bought it for like 25 cents

It’s a good book that outlines the first battles of the Revolution in a very understandable style of writing, my favorite part is when they carry the cannons through the mountains of New York.

Is this a good book?

I've heard it's intensely based. I'd like to buy it.

it was a good read, but unremarkable.
