Paradise Lost
My Last Sigh
nothing else, really. My library was pretty poorly stocked.

I always thought of it as a kind of Robin Hood-ing, better it sits on my shelf and gets read than either A) Collect dust on a shelf or B) Is beaten daily by being jostled around in backpacks by kids assigned to read them.

The Great Gatsby, The Castle, Amerika I have stolen countless books in my time, mostly from Barnes and Noble.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Two copies of Les Miserables, unabridged.

Of Mice and Men
Frankenstein
Grendel
Time Machine/Invisible Man
Paradise Lost
Fear and Loathing

Funny story, the school was moving and half the shit they were either donating or throwing away.

I stole a total of 8 dictionaries during my senior year. It was kind of a challenge to see how many I could collect my last semester. That's about it though

I stole most of the textbooks this year so I'm not liable if I lose them.

Also, pirated ebooks. That kinda counts.

i stole a physics textbook

I was about to say you have no taste, but I saw Henry V and King Lear.
So I'm going to say you have good taste in plays. A shame that more people don't read Henry V.

Sophomore year my English teacher lent me a copy of The Fountainhead because she had won an Objectivist contest thing-y and a trillion copies were sent to her.

Read it, never gave it back, and I've been an asshole ever since.

I stole Nine Stories. Still never bothered to read it given how unpleasant Catcher in the Rye was.

I stole Fever 1793 and one of the His Dark Materials books in middle school, that's about it.

Johnny Got his Gun
I, Judas

>Things Fall Apart
Why?

>>2517572
Your highschool library had all those?

lord of the flies

Holy shit, I've been feeling very bad for stealing book. I thought I was the only one. I stole Huckleberry Finn and A literature Textbook. This thread made me feel better.

I regret nothing.

>>2517925
Am I the only one who thought this book was unreadable waffle?

The Catcher in the Rye (we were assigned it and I just found it in a pile a few weeks ago)

>mfw so many of you are still in highschool.

>>2517940

I had a weird relationship with that tiny, outdated library. I stole a bunch of books, but I also gave them a lot of books by just plugging them in after writing "Secret donation to NCHS library".

I doubt, with the fanatically conservative librarian (she gave me several bibles throughout the years to make sure I read it, god save my soul, I guess)... but some may be.

I never stole any books, because I am not a thief.

>>2518076 here again.
On second thought, I actually did. But it was accidental... :( Fuck

"A calendar of events in Australian History", published 1932

Fucking best book ever

Of Mice and Men
A Christmas Carol

You are also not a logician, I reckon.

Only from the teachers that I hated, which was all of my middle school English teachers but only one of my high school teachers. Needless to say, I got a lot of books from those schools-

>All of the Harry Potter books except the last one
>two math, one English, one bio, one physical sciences textbook
>probably five of the Redwall books
>The Odyssey
>at least 20 more that I don't have anymore.

I made out pretty good. The textbooks were half to spite the teachers and half because I didn't pay enough attention and I knew they'd come in handy later on.

I steal in real life like I steal in Elder Scrolls games: Only money so it won't be a hassle to get rid of it.

I stole this book.

Le Morte d'Arthur
Catcher in the Rye
A book about the history of Vigilantism
Another book about television's impact on the mind

>All Quiet On The Western Front
>Cat's Cradle
>The American
>European History textbook
>3 Plays of Anton Chekov

That's it really, my school's actual library was a bit small. The township's library was just next door though. I quit stealing stuff when the security guard (we only had one) was looking into student's cars in the parking lot throughout the day for stolen books (?) Yeah, I'm still confused by that one.

>>2517428
I still haven't worked up the nerve to take books from Barnes & Nobles. I'm afraid there's going to be a sensor I miss.

great gatsby

i bumpity dumpity

So has anyone actually stolen Steal This Book?

A textbook on Ancient Civilizations. I liked my English teachers too much to piss 'em off.
