It's an addiction isn't it? A sickness of the mind.

But Kant says:
1) If everyone is not paying for books
2) We most likely wouldn't have books
3) You should thus pay for books

nothing wrong with paying for books, but one tip is to browse used book stores first. You can find the majority of the classics in a used bookstore. I've even found pynchon and gaddis and lots of more obscure /lit/ in used bookstores as well. Sometimes nice old hardcovers.

Stealing is the manliest thing you can do. That's what real men did before all that pussy shit like jobs and money turned them into ninnies.

When you read Stephen King and similar trash, you always have to assume that at least one of the people who borrowed it before you read the entire thing on the shitter.
People who aren't into borrowing books are either autistic or deep down know that they have pleb tier taste.

virtues and morals were formulated and cultivated by men. Honesty is an abstract concept only men can understand. Some men are dishonest, but all women are dishonest if they think they cannot be caught. The understanding of the necessity and righteousness to not steal is a manly thing by default.
