After years of practice, I can walk into a bookstore and understand its layout in a few seconds. I can glance at the spine of a book and make a good guess at its content from a number of signs.
Nothing beats a great second-hand bookstore.
Time to go buy some books. That’s right I’m going book shopping this morning! Lucky me!

A Conversation I Overheard Last Night in the Bookstore
- Daughter: Why didn't you tell me this book was so good
- Mother: I did, you just didn't listen.
- Daughter: You never said a word. I would have read it if you had told me.
- Mother: I did tell you. Three times! I even showed you the book when you came over two weekends ago.
- Daughter: I think you're making this up.
- Mother: I told you. I really did. But what made you decide to read it?
- Daughter: I saw it on your coffee table and took it home and read it.
- Mother: I put it there after I told you about it.
- Daughter: [Looks at mother incredulously]
- Mother: [pulls a book off the shelf and hands it to her daughter] You should read this book, it's very good.
- Daughter: [Takes the book, looks it over and puts it back on the shelf] That doesn't look that good.
- Mother: [Throws her hands in the air and walks away]
- Daughter: What?
