I bought the 'annotated edition' of our book club pick for $45...

The notes were just the author's Wikipedia page copy-pasted, and we all agreed it added zero to our debate. Anyone have a good source for actual literary analysis that doesn't cost a fortune?

My library's free online literary databases saved me.

Wait, they charged you forty-five dollars for a copy-pasted Wikipedia page? That's honestly kind of a scam. I'd be asking for a refund, that's just lazy. For real analysis, I've had good luck just searching the book title plus "PDF essay" or "lecture notes." A lot of professors put their course stuff online for free.

Like hollybrown said, my friend's library card got him JSTOR for free.
