Does anyone else on here hate textbooks or am I alone on this?

Textbooks are summaries of summaries of summaries of the original books. Textbooks are implying that you are too stupid to understand the original.

As the saying goes, some books are meant to be tasted, some to be swallowed and some to be chewed and digested. A textbook is the result of someone else doing the chewing and digesting for you, so when you read a textbook you are reading shit.

I've been assigned some really good textbooks that I actually sat down and read in its entirety.
I don't remember any of their names because they always have weird ones, but the most recent one was for a U.S. Federal Government class, and it was blue with the American flag in the middle.
