I had gone to MG Road on Saturday for a meet-up of the Bangalore Writing Club. After the meeting and some chit-chat at a CCD nearby I decided to roam around for a while.
While I was looking around I found a shop that sold second-hand books. I went in and bought a few books. They were all in very good condition and considerably cheaper than new copies.
These are the books I bought:
Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad
Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D.H. Lawrence
Faust (Part 1) by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The Best of R.K. Laxman
The Island of Dr.Moreau by H.G.Wells
Pygmalion and Major Barbara by George Bernard Shaw
Un-read books are piling up in my cubicle now. My propensity for buying new books is getting ahead of my ability to finish reading them. Must make my reading more vigorous!
Lady Chatterley’s lover!!!!!!…hmmm

Get a kindle. Books are cheaper, and for bestsellers you have torrents.
I know. But for some reason, I like to have physical copies of the books I read. If it weren’t for that then I would have a lot of other options including using the Kwench library which our company provides for free. Anyway, I know that getting a kindle is the clever thing to do. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Sabu!
Very honestly written. Not to mention your coffee taken away as we spoke!
Hey Sabu,
Can you please share the name of bookstores. Can I call them, to check availability and price.
Currently I buy used books online from http://www.madbooks.com.
If I can get information on phone from these booksellers, I can compare the prices before buying books.
Thanks
