I didn't know they had textbooks in finishing schools.

I kept all of my textbooks for about a year after getting my undergrad, but I eventually got sick of moving them (In the past five years I've moved seven times, including a trip from Tampa to Portland, OR).

I regret getting rid of a few books, though. I took many more classes than I needed to graduate, just cause I loved the subjects. And some of those books were very well written.

And I still don't know how to do it.

kept all of mine with the notable exception of the ones from an American Studies class, which was the worst class i ever had. threw those away in an attempt to eradicate them from the earth (mostly because 2 of them were written by the professor, who was a shitbag)

please link to them and breathe into a paper bag (jjjusten), Wednesday, 26 August 2009 17:06 (fourteen years ago) link

i didn't keep much from undergrad -- i was an english major and most of my books were cheap reprints of the classics, so i figured i could replace those easily if i wanted to.

i've kept pretty much everything from grad school.
