Reply #27: I'm guilty of the 'quick question', even still...

and the "Summer reading list" being put off until the last weekend is giving me nightmarish flashbacks of pretty much every grade from 2-10, even though I always used the library:scared:

as to the 'daycare' quip, I'll never understand why they stopped catering to mostly adult customers just interested in buying books...Once Borders/B+N got too loud, too crowded and too busy I stopped going -- IMO the bookstore is NOT a place to:

1. Serve as a daycare (already noted)
2. Be the weekly meeting place for heated cosplay anime discussions
3. Be some kind of brainiac's singles bar (Starbucks)
4. Be a library (how many times have I seen the last copy of a book I was searching for, except the pages were dog-eared and the spine broken?)
