[Blase]

So this year signaled the start of my college career, and with it, my first encounter with college textbooks.

I've always heard and been told that books were super expensive, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that 3 used books would cost almost as much as an Xbox360.

Is there any reasoning to the absurd price tag on these things? I just cannot imagine why a 200 page book would cost $116.99US unless it was written by Jesus HIMSELF and presented to me on plate of pure platinum.



ps. I just realized I lost one of my books today and am pissed that I'll have to buy it all over again. cry:
