I have never done this, but it seems like an interesting thing. Pirating kindle books I can do, but stealing a physical copy I haven't tried yet...

Inb4 pirating vs stealing

Uh, yeah, no. Stealing a 1.50 copy of Animal Farm from a bookstore that makes almost no significant revenue isn't something a "gentleman" would do.

Try again, OP. This time, work the gray matter.

i used to steal from the library an absolute shit-ton back in elementary school and junior high.

>mfw when I have the entire redwall series until 1998.

I would never do that, I follow the categorical imperative.

me too.

I've befriended the local independent bookstore proprietors: one of them is teaching me how to bind and repair antiquarian texts and the other gives me great recommendations and free books all the time.

I only ever stole one single book, some 10 years ago.

Afterwards I felt so bad about it I couldn't even bring myself to read it.

nigga what could possibly motivate me to physically steal a book. I already have 92,000 books on my hard-drive and will never be in want of one for the rest of my life. I ain't winona ryder. shit.

>have a look at my parents bookshelf
>half of the books have library stamps
the fuck?

>implying emma watson has read anything besides harry potter scripts

>>2260888

either they're discards that were sold at library book sales or you're the issue of kleptomaniacs and should be chemically castrated

>implying I wouldn't give my life just so i can sniff her asshole

>>2260893

In all likelihood, and I write this with all sincerity, she's probably better read than you are.

books were the main thing in my childhood I have stolen, now i just take books from girlfriends and never return them hehehehe

That means you're a cunt mate.

What makes you say that? Child actors often receive really sub-par on-set education. I'd be surprised if she could even name any decent authors, let alone if she had read them.

Next up we'll have

I stole Tao Lin, Samuel Beckett and Mervyn Peake from the Harvard Bookstore last week.

I swear, shoplifting is the best crime anyone can commit.

>>2261007

She got into Harvard didn't she?

>>2261009

They're all dead, and you stole from Harvard.

I'm okay with this.

Brown. Famous morons get into the Ivy League all the time, though.

I'm afraid of getting caught. The bitch on the counter rubs in to de magnify the thing but at a closer inspection I can't find the tag.

Also, opinions on swapping price tags?

>After moving to Oxford with her mother and brother, Watson attended The Dragon School until June 2003 and then moved to Headington School, also in Oxford. While on film sets, Watson and her peers were tutored for up to five hours a day. In June 2006, Watson took GCSE examinations in 10 subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades.
After leaving school, Watson took a gap year to film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows beginning in February 2009, but said she "definitely want[ed] to go to university". The Providence Journal reported that Watson had confirmed that she had chosen Brown University, located in Providence, Rhode Island. In March 2011, after 18 months at the university, Watson announced that she was deferring her course for "a semester or two", to give her more time to participate in the advertising buildup for the release of the second Deathly Hallows film, and other projects. It has since been announced that Watson will be continuing her studies in autumn, reportedly on an exchange programme to Worcester College, Oxford, and that she will complete her final year at Brown University.

Where would you steal a book? And how do you work?

Only book I ever stole was about logic, it was worth like 30€. Mostly did it because I didn't want to die without having stolen a book. And the book was cool.

i've only stolen one book, and that's because it was the only copy i had ever seen at the bookstore and it was like $35.

>I can't find the tag
Oh dear, don't even try to steal anything.

look at the top comment.

I stole about 10, Nietzsche, Woolf, Fitzgerald, etc. from my school library.
I've stolen a moleskin notebook (24.00 lol) and probably over $250 of fiction from chapters. Have stolen from a used bookstore.
Planning on stealing a bigger moleskin because the one I need is 30.00 and my space right now is running out.

>stealing physical property
If you want a book that badly, pirate it.

>>2260820
Yes. I've 'borrowed' books from libraries, and then 'forgot' to return them. No need to do it nowadays.
