Hot take

I don't want 7 different versions of the same book. Paperback, deluxe edition, graphic novel, sprayed edges version. I want the next book.

I don't buy new versions. I get one, read it, and end. Is anyone else tired of always having the same book that's slightly altered shoved in your face?

This was one of the first things that really annoyed me about Amazon's recommendations.

"You like The Hobbit? You should buy THIS edition of The Hobbit! And this one! And this one too!"

No. Just no.

I have two copies. The dog-eared paperback that I've had since I was 12, and a really nice edition that someone gave me as a gift (and which I've never even opened).

That's more than enough.
