i really wish books were cheaper cause i'd certainly like to own a lot and read more.
murakami
hemingway
lolita
war and peace
slaughterhouse five
great expectations
catch 22
the bell jar
edit:
upon further research, i am finding quite a few through the wonderfully cheap(er) dover thrift editions, signet classics, and bantam classics! now i can get some down so it's a good way to work towards the books i want!

books are expensive if you buy them new, but what about amazon used? the sf public library has a really good selection of used books that i bought a stack like 40$ worth. i suppose myopic has fairly priced used books, but i'd like to go back to this one in hyde park, which i heard is the oldest used bookstore in chicago.
oh yes i've looked through the used but i hate that $4 shipping fee :| i made a big order on amazon and it turns out i spent $60 (yay free ship!) on 12 books, most of which were super cheap because they were signet classics or dover thrift :) but i got some fabbbb ones i always wanted to read like war and peace and lolita!!
haven't really shopped in used book stores yet but perhaps i shall stroll into one next time ehe
