I need to buy about 5-10 a month for my studies, then I probably buy another 3 a month for leisure reading. To be honest, I don't to buy that many, as my father's an avid reader and has most of the releases I'm interested in reading.

I like to go to used bookstores. Why not? This one time I got Stephen King's It for 50 cents. T'was a good deal.
I usually buy one a month. I don't read all the time, but I try to get a new horror novel every once in a while.

I got King's IT for 10p, beat that, lol. That was at a fair stall.
I only really go to Borders, but if I'm at the mall then I go to Waterstones.
I got about 20 books around Christmas time, so got those to keep me going.
When I do go book shopping, usually come away with 6+, I'm a slow reader, so got two book piles in my bedroom of books to read.

All the book shops near me sell at more or less the same price. But yes, books are expensive

Very nice, especially the Film Studies part

I go to the bookstore (one of the only two English-based bookstores in all of Shanghai) about once every three weeks and get 3 - 4 books each time, the store has a very limited selection though so I sometimes order online some titles I am unable to find.
