there's probably 191223423353 topics of people bitching about this...

but i f**king get pissed off buying books. i just bought my italian book and it's like 300 pages total and a little paper work book and it cost f**king 196 dollars. WHAT THE HELL. THIS IS BULLSHIT. i have no clue why this book should cost as much as it does. it's not even a big hard cover book.

f**k this. so uh, have you bought your books? were you surprised by any of the prices? did your smallest most useless class end up costing you more than your actual major classes?

chick in line in front of me, her total cost was like 800+ dollars. i felt worse for her.

I've gotten all of my books; after first semester of freshman year I no longer bought books out of the bookstore...every edition I needed was found online for a lot cheaper than the bookstore; the most I pay now is 70 bucks; the least I've paid was 25 for a brand new Microeconomics book...I usually always throw in the extra 10 or 20 for expedited shipping...I sell all my general & elective books back to people & keep my major books for future reference...I no longer complain about book prices
