My God 11 books on just one subject for class.

Its going to cost me almost 300 bucks just for the require books for this class which is Latin American history. The other class I'm taking for this summer is political culture which requires 8 books. Total I have calculated including tax would be $477 and change. This is ridiculous.

Meh. Wait until the end of the summer session when you realize that you've only been assigned stuff out of maybe two of the 11 books!

Were any of the books, written by the Professor of the class by chance?
This happens to my wife about every semester..And of course, they are mega overpriced.
