Like you I find it difficult to get excited about text books. I do get annoyed at how much they cost though. The last text book I needed to buy and I'm going back 6/7 years ago cost £50 new, needless to say I bought a second hand copy with dog ears etc though thankfully no pencil markings.
I get excited about textbooks! Love them. I do like fiction too but I love learning new things and those books look so informative.
@Petty: Fortunately, a lot of them have gotten cheaper as I've gotten to higher levels. But I always buy used as well, so I was delighted to get these and see that they were new!
@Clarissa: I definitely prefer this type to the massive books that are hard to hold-- it kind of feels like I'm reading fiction!
I just LOVE the smell of books. I always looked forward to new school year when I get to smell all those new books. Even now whenever I go to the library or bookshop I smell the books first before opening them...I hope you don't think I'm weird or something, I just like the smell
No, I like the smell, too. New book smell is great, but library book smell is nice, too. The only book smell I don't like is musty! Ick!
I used to get excited about new textbooks. I still have some of them in my personal library. The books were so much less expensive when I was in college about 40 years ago. So was everything else. And I was so excited when my paycheck was raised by a nickel to $2.05.

Pathos, is in part of Aristotle's triangle of persuasion?
@Arlee: I don't know how I missed your comment! I have kept some of my textbooks, too, and some have re-entered the circulation process (yay, Amazon!). :)
@Amanda: You are correct! I see that your education is not being wasted. :)
SOMETHING good had to come out of speech class XD
I'm guessing that you don't feel well-served in your quest to speak publicly, then?
