    I just wanted to add that it's amazing that cheap books make literature more accessible, and Poundland has lots of absolute bargains! The Great Gatsby for £1?!?!?!? INCREDIBLE. They also had A LOT of children's books for £1 which is so great because it will allow so many more children to access books!! However, for most of these books to be this heavily-discounted, there must be a reason these editions didn't sell well in the first place! Of course, there is absolutely no judgement here from me about people who buy 'cheap' books -- I buy all of mine second-hand or from charity shops if I can!!
    I chose the most outrageous-sounding books for the purposes of a fun review video. Just wanted to clarify this before the video goes live

I could see the inverse being slightly more creepy but if it had a good heart it'd be a story about a boy seeing past his misogynistic ways? Idk

      Seconding what Maria Sudermann said! There ought to be similar places in your country, even if said country does not have Dollar Tree or Poundland-type retail chains. The only thing you need to do is search for them! We don't have book bins in supermarkets where I'm from, but there are secondhand sellers, and those often have a book bin. I'd often find books on the cheap there, it's more than one euro per piece but not by much. If you don't have those, there are bookshops which specialize in secondhand books, or have a secondhand section you can dig into. And if all else fails, there's always the internet! A number of secondhand sellers use Amazon to survive these days; and sure, the shipping costs stack on top of your purchase, but the purchase itself isn't much, and you can find a variety of books at around one euro. Just be careful if you shop or order lately, as according to some studies COVID can take some time to disappear from surfaces. Read safe!- ^^

    1.Madonna in a Fur Coat or The Evil Inside Us by Sabahattin Ali (My favorite author ever)
    2.The Disconnected by Oğuz Atay (The most left halfway through book in turkish literature)
    3. One Cat, One Man, One Death or My Brother's Story by Zülfü Livaneli
    4.Memed, My Hawk by Yaşar Kemal (The first book of the tetralogy)
    5.Lying Down To Die by Adalet Ağaoğlu (The first book of the trinity)
    6.The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar
