>would circle 10-15 books on the booklet advertising everything available
>could only buy two or three
Joke's on you, mom! Now I can buy all the books I want. Which is why I have 30 at home on my reading list. That I will definitely finish. Eventually.

Hopefully.

Yeah but it's always bullshit like "encyclopedias" on Star Wars or a book on how to blow bubblegum.

It's also an unholy alliance between a capitalist enterprise and the public school system. Somehow I doubt private schools have Scholastic book fairs.
