While there are several advantages of reading books in English, the best one of all is that I can primarily do the ‘reading’ activity while improving my English. And another thing is that sometimes I can get them for a ridiculously cheap price.
Recently, I bought the eBooks of ‘Reminiscences of a Stock Operator’ by Edwin Lefevre and ‘How To Trade in Stocks’ by Jesse Livermore for less than $2.
It would have cost almost $14 for the Korean translations.
These kinds of copyright-free books that were published a long time ago are available on the Internet Archive website, but they are usually a bit lousy in terms of editing and formatting. If you look them up on Amazon, though, you might be able to find a better version for free or at a very low price.
$2 for two eBooks is just ridiculous, but these books definitely should help improve my knowledge base and English at the same time.
Of course, there are cons: these tempting prices make me end up hoarding so many eBooks that I will never finish reading them in this lifetime (Is it also a pro? Maybe).
