Media that makes me...less than happy

Ok, why do college required books have to be so expensive and so wordy! I swear I spend the majority of my time reading unnecessary information. Don't get me wrong, my motto for school is "Seek learning by study and also by faith" (Doc & Cov), but my time is precious. I don't like to have it wasted with information that really could be summed up into one or two sentences. Maybe it's just my learning style. I do prefer learning from a professor rather than reading a textbook about this study and that research. I love learning about children and relationships. I love learning how we develop. But I also love pure and simple truths. That is much preferred over people's theories and best guesses. It makes me so grateful for the scriptures and modern prophets. I never get bored of reading those things! They're packed with powerful one-sentence-ers :)
