So we have to do this book report thing for my AP US History class. One in the first semester, another in the second. First one went well. I read the entire thing on Sparknotes the week of the due date and got the essay done over a couple days (has to be at least 6 pages, single spaced). Ended up doing really well. Of course, that led me to believe I'd be able to pull it off again.
Well, as the due date crept closer and closer, I figured I should CHOOSE the book I was going to read this time around. My teacher gave us a list of ideal books to use, but since I was already so late on picking, I was basically scraping the bottom of the barrel. I would basically look for ones with <300 pages and then search to see if there was a Sparknotes thing for them. No luck for basically any of them, until I came across one with a site called "Bookrags", that seemed to be essentially the same thing. There was a brief summary of the first chapter on the page, so I figured "Hey, this'll do. I'll check this out later when I'm going to write the paper. Piece of cake, right?" Not right. Wrong, even.
Fast forward to this week. Due date is coming up, and I haven't even started yet. No matter, I have cheap summaries on my side! Well...'Cheap' my ass. I go back to the page I visited, read the part of the summary posted, and click "read more". It brings me to a page about subscribing to see the rest of the summary, and at $19.99 a month. I should've seen it coming, honestly.
TL;DR I'm going to read the book now
