I stopped using Amazon a while back, but it was where I got all my books for a long time. I do thriftbooks mostly now, and try to buy directly from publishers when it’s a newer book, but I’m always interested in finding new spots to cop some sweet books.

    I usually buy from bookstores when I go to the mall, but shit’s expensive and I haven’t gone in a while, so I’m mostly just sailing the high seas for now.

    Right now I’m reading Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, still on the very beginning of the book, and I also started rereading Marx: An Introduction by Jorge Grespan, it’s very short and only available in portuguese I think, but helped me grasp some concepts I struggled a bit before.

      I love your username. I have the antlers and star as my only tattoo haha.

      Carmilla is that vamp novel that predates Dracula, right? Hope it’s a good read, I’ve wanted to read it for a while but always forget it exists until something reminds me.

        That’s awesome, I wanted to get a tattoo of the antlers too, but haven’t been able to yet, hopefully sometime in the future I get it.

        Yes that’s the one. I’m only a few chapters in and besides one racist passage it’s been pretty good so far. It’s much more sapphic than I expected lol. Also the book is very short, I’m just slow to read at the moment.
