You guys get to buy cheap books in English where here they are extremely expensive, and reading in my native language is an absolute hell. The best translation we have of the Illiad was made in the 1900s in a foreign dialect. You don't appreciate it how easy you guys have it. You can just pick up any book for cheap and start reading it. Fuck you.

Can't you import them? I live in Japan, second hand books in foreign languages are cheap as fuck (usually 108 yens, a dollar), but brand new books are ridiculously expensive (I've seen The Fall of Gondolin for almost 50 dollars), so when I want a brand new book I buy it on Amazon (us, uk, sometimes jp if, for some reason, it's cheap).
