It’s the beginning of the semester and lines are out of control at the Barnes & Noble and, occasionally, at Book Culture, where the line has snaked up the stairs (or alternately, has been non-existent, like every time Bwog goes there to take a photograph of the line). For a shorter trip to the bookstore, don’t head over right after a class lets out.
Or, just skip the whole headache and head to Butler, which is nice and empty this time of year. One tipster did and saved $600 on textbooks, sadly reminding Bwog of (Good) Will Hunting’s dressing-down of a Harvard snot: “you wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.”

@i never realized that if you check out a book from butler, it’s not due until may…
@gratitude Wow, what a tremendously insightful and original tip! Thanks Bwog!!
@Hmm Columbia’s late fee structure makes Will Hunting’s proposition infeasible.
@Hmmm Do you think you could conceivably rack up $150,000 in late fees?
@yes... the columbia terminology for $150,000 in late fees is the phrase “general studies”
@hahaa this guy is as good as tbe one who makes those cute little jokes!
@Dominique NOOO!! Don’t reveal the secret! Competition is fierce enough as it is, I don’t want to fight someone in the stacks over the last copy of some required book…but I will.
@... you see, that’s why al gore invented the internet. he wasn’t happy with the inequality created by secrets and devised an evil plan to ensure that nothing will ever remain a secret again.
