Lol. I remember going onto marxists.org a few years ago for a research project and it took me two hours to find everything that I needed.

Given that marxists.org throws a PDF at you when you choose an author, I think you've done much better.

i really love the awful structure of the website sometimes because when you find something really cool it feels like you struck gold

thanks man, for me i mostly get books secondhand unless i want a clean copy of something in particular, but i mostly buy my books from Library Genesis and load the pdfs/epubs onto my ink ereader

most of my notes have been digitized versions of handwritten notes but i find handwriting notes to be incredibly labour intensive and my preference has become left side of screen: html, right side of screen: pdf/epub, which is what im doing for Logic of Desire

It happens to be that library genesis has most any book you look for . . . infinite copies, too!

library genesis is great for non-fiction which is what i mostly read but dear god their fiction scans can either be nonexistent or awful, which is why i now have a shitload of fiction on my physical bookshelves

I mainly go to libraries and used book stores in my area for almost all of my books. Sometimes I am given a copy from the school/college I attend, but usually the nonfiction that I am given are guides which usually have an insufferable author's tone used throughout.
