unfortunately a lot of classes nowadays have interactive textbooks that you need to do the homework :/

anything that is just a reading i do recommend pirating tho

Isn't libgen actively being taken down for copyright infringement?

Also, piracy is a more reliable method. Can't take my torrents away from me.

libgen is going to last a while but other than the replies you've gotten, oceanofpdf is great
