Definitely more expensive. I used to get paperbacks for 7 euros.

Reply to What are some techniques used in books that you just love for some weird reason by shorttompkins
I love subtle details you can perceive if you’re paying attention, but aren’t exactly buried too deep. You feel this sense of satisfaction because you noticed, but it’s as subtle as what the author did, not a huge aha moment.
Examples: in Handmaid’s Tale you can deduce the protagonist’s name. It’s never stated but it’s clearly there if you pay attention.
Also: in Remains of the Day how you notice things that even the protagonist is oblivious to - though I’m not sure if it counts when it’s the whole point of the story.

Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill
No, I went the other way. Used to read the classics, now I read urban fantasy that’s available on Kindle Unlimited. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m 41 by the way.
