Reply #30: It is just not healthy for me to enter a bookstore..I am a goner!

I have Borders and B&N within 5 mnutes of my house. There is a Half Price also very near and a great little booktrader maybe 15 minutes away.

I could open my own damn bookstore with what lines the walls of my house. Bet I have more books than your minimalist bookstore, the very idea. ARe the books being used as decor? Or props to invite coffee drinkers?

My most favoritest bookstore when I was younger was Mills in Nashville. I could hang in there for days. The staff knew where everything was but it had this homey cluttered look, not dusty but you got the idea it SHOULD have been just a little dusty...things looked random but weren't. I loved it. I killed many an hour in my teens after orthodontist appointments in that bookstore, while waiting for the Greyhound to take me home to Kentucky.

Nothing like a good afternoon well spent in the land of reading.
