Your local library allows free book rentals.
Your global pirates allow free book downloads.

Just return it nigga. If you happen to have bought it from Amazon and are lucky, they'll refund you without you needing to return it at all (it's happened to me before).

This can be solved with one simple trick.

Support the local libraries; they buy the books with municipality tax dollars. Pirates steal revenue and de-incentivize authors. I don't see a reason why you shouldn't support a library outside of pure laziness and selfishness

Can someone explain this image to me?

Don’t do this. Just go to goodwills and get great 60s sci fi books and litfic for a buck each.

The author is clearly saying that specifically women are conformist and will accept art based on consensus and not aesthetic value, unlike men. Unfortunately for the author, the majority of everyone is retarded.

Pirating books can’t be theft because 1) no one is being deprived of their merchandise and 2) I download a lot more books than I would buy. My downloading a book is not a “lost sale” if it’s a book I never would have bought in the first place. And if I like it enough, I’ll buy a physical copy for my bookshelf.
>>
>>24826920
Yeah man. I have about 6 books lined up that I absolutely do not want to read

>And if I like it enough, I’ll buy a physical copy for my bookshelf
In that case, why not check the book out at your local library (unless you live in a provincial town and your library is horribly underfunded) and buy it later? They even have ebooks now
>>
>>24828483
cause it takes forever and it's ass, not to mention it hardly has anything I'd be interested in reading. it's also an absolute pain in the ass to go to the library where I live.
>>
>>24828483
so I have a free pass to pirate if I live in a small town?
