Why do charity shops have to have such cheap books?

It's creating a real danger that my TBR pile will collapse! Am I just being weak-minded or is this a real problem?!

Two more books today:
  • The Unlocking by Adrian Plass (subtitled 'God's escape plan for frightened people)
  • Q&A by Vikas Swarup
Eighteen-year-old Ram Mohammad Thomas is in prison after answering twelve questions correctly on a TV quiz show to win one billion rupees. The producers have arrested him, convinced that he has cheated hi way to victory. Twelve extraordinary events in street-kid Ram's life- how he was found in a dustbin by a priest; came to have three names; fooled a professional hitman; even fell in love- give him the crucial answers. In his warm-hearted tale lies all the comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos of modern India.
