What really pisses me off!
I just want to get this off my chest while we're still venting here.
The reading list sucks in the book exchanges here in SA. I can't read one more trashy murder/mayhem/mystery, I'm tired of wading through stacks of romance nonsense. Thankfully it seems, the selfhelp folks are staying at home, or at least leaving their books at home.
I want more! I need something with some meat to it. I'm not talking Shakespear here.
I want more comedy. Especially the guys write about how nuts el presidente de los EE.UU. is. I want more history, literature, classics. Good contemporary authors (excluding John Grisham - read too many now) writing decent suspense.
Just think how many books we, er you, have at home. We'll either throw them out, or get pennies on the dollar if someone ever buys them back. Instead, you could be spreading stimulating reading material throughout the known world.
As to that cheap thing. Defining cheap - now that's the hard part. One man's cheap...another man's luxuries!
