1. Open Culture:  Not a large a selection, but high quality texts. If you just want to skim a book to brush up on a course you took in ninth grade, download one of these. I have yet to be disappointed.

2. Book Boon: Provides free college-level textbooks in a PDF format. Probably the widest range of subjects on the web. The site is also pretty.

3. Flat World Knowledge: The worlds largest publisher of free and open college textbooks. Humanitie texts are particularly difficult to come by, this site has a great selection in all disciplines.

4. Textbook Revolution:  Some of the books are PDF files, others are viewable online as e-books, or some are simply web sites containing course or multimedia content.

5. Library Pirate: I’ve always had an addiction to torrent based pirating. When this site opened a few months ago, I went a little overboard. After dropping two hundred on a paperback spanish textbook, I downloaded the ebook version illegally. I also got a great Psyc text i’m obsessed with.  It will be interesting to see how this site grows- they already have a great selection. 

College bookstores completely rip off their students, so ALWAYS reblog free textbooks! 

Reblogging and bookmarking because I wont get my books until the 10th of September and I kinda need them now. Also, for the rest of you poor college students.

I’m doing an online summer course so I don’t physically have to be in Virginia in order to get my credit. AWH YEAH I’M STOKED.

I learned so much in Gender In America, and became so much more aware of the sneaky ways gender roles are forced upon us. And how prevalent misogyny and objectification of women is, even in the mainstream media. Seriously. Take a gender class. It will change your life.

• Spending $125 on a FUCKING SOFT COVER 700 PAGE Geology text book.
• Carrying a 25lb back pack up three flights of stairs/ramps, and trying not to fall forward on your way down.
• Avoiding buying a parking pass as long as possible, and end up paying $50+ dollars in fines and a parking pass anyways.
• Your professors can say words like ‘damn’ and ‘hell’ in class without getting calls from upset and offended parents.
• Coming up with ways to fake your own death to avoid repaying student loans.
• Selling organs/bodily fluids becomes a lucrative way to buy books/feed yourself.
• Sitting in a public place people watching can be a totally acceptable homework assignment.
• Living at home rent free doesn’t seem like such a bad option when dorms are $15K a semester and an apartment is $800 a month.
