One great thing about local bookshops is you find some really great local/national content (relevant social/political/economic stuff).

Also, you can find pretty much any classic at a used book store at a low price so no need to waste money buying new (unless you are looking for a specific edition/translation).

>>8633654
You are obviously new to literature, what dont you buy 5 of the most accesible of those books, and start with those (like stoner, catcher, etc)
>>
>>8633654
>Wuthering Heights
buy To The Lighthouse instead
>All that Pynchon
only buy one
>Stoner
bad, don't buy
>The Count of Monte Cristo
genre hackery
>Fight Club
film is better and even that is not very good
>High school shit
don't bother, replace with: Dubliners, Ficciones, The Stranger, The Trial
>>
>>8633654
1. There's no reason to buy this many at once
2. Every used book store in the world has fucking Pride and Prejudice what are you even doing.
>>
>>8633654
All good except Fight Club. I'd recommend Collected Fictions of Borges or Joyce's Dubliners.
>>
>>8633630
use alibris or abebooks.
>>
>>8633654
These are almost all public domain for the most part, you should buy a used kindle and dont attach it to the internet. If you want to decorate your house, use alibris.

dominiopublico.gov.br
Literally a government kept public domain archive.
You can find a bit of stuff in english, but does anybody know if there's an american one?
>>
>>8633683
I'm reading to the lighthouse right now and finished Dubliners, moving on to portrait of the artist soon.
>>8633684
I can afford it so why not?
>>8633706
Prefer the feel of a book in my hands, plus it's almost like a memento when you've finished it
>>
>>8633728
Project Gutenberg has every one published before 1950 something

>>8633732
As someone who has a library I understand, but it seems like you are quite new to literature...
>>
>>8633732
Yeah but buy what you can at a used bookstore for $3 a pop and you can afford even more
>>
>>8633630

Torrent them or download them on PG and stop being a consumerist faggot.
