I bought some textbooks for university.

Ended up not using most of them.

Most computers science students are used to computers, internet and StackOverflow.

Not paper.

I found this in my first and second year so I stopped buying them.

Half the time it was just "recommended reading" and the book wasn't even used in class.

Yep, not gonna shell out $120 per book for "recommend reading"

Don't you have university library? I did most of the recommend readings through my studies and found them all there (excepted for one). Ended up being a two reference books which prove themselves to be worth it.
