Today, after I finished lunch, I headed to the campus
library to relax (as I usually do). When I got there I noticed a
sign outside: "Book Sale." After I had found an interesting
book, I asked a librarian how much these we're going for. Her
response... their FREE!!!
Now I could have got technical and
discussed how "sales" mean people get charged for things, but certain things
happen when I get near books. More things happen when I feel
like buying books... and I just had to find out what would happen when the
books were free. The result? 21 books and two trips
to the car (my poor backpack). Here is a list of the books I
snatched up and their various topics (anything I found even remotely
interesting or useful):
