I never borrow books anymore. I buy them all for super cheap on Amazon so I can keep them forever and ever.

Just bought a new Japanese studying book for "advanced" learners. I'm not an advanced learner but I have already finished the intermediate level four times and I'm still not getting any better so I thought I would try a new level.
