okay I feel like the ultimate geek now

I went to the mall on black friday and because I don't like that many people at one time

I went to the book store
and stayed there nearly the whole time

I loved every second of it

At Union Station we stayed in the bookstore most of the time too.

There's a bookstore down the road from where I work thats open till midnight on weekends. I like to go in and spends hours reading the Neil Gaiman novels and the Calvin and Hobbes collections. Bookstores are so great.

Bookstores are so awesome! What could possibly be "geeky" about enjoying a place where the thoughts of the greatest thinkers of humanity are yours for the browsing?

In a good-sized bookstore, you can find everything from muscle magazines to seashell field guides to the history of Zen Buddhism.

Which of the above is geeky?

I wish there were more of them (bookstores) around.

[nowhere man]

You mean to say you go into a bookstore and read the books without buying them
Thats like stealing knowlage

[Pimienta]

some book stores let people borrow books

well it depends on the book store

some book stores let people borrow books

Aren't they called libraries?

I love bookstores too. Whenever we go in we all disappear into our favourite sections and don't emerge for hours.

[Pimienta]

no I'm talking about used bookstores mostly
they allow people to either borrow or buy books

I love book stores so much

[Pimienta]

I wish there was a bookstore near my house that was hiring
that would be an amazing job

[lifeis42]

I couldn't work in a book store. I'd get fired for reading all the books and not getting any work done.

At least, that's what happened when I was a librarian in primary school...

[Insanity test]

lol.

I love the fact that bookshops often provide comfy chairs for you to sit in. You could just stop by the shop every day for an hour or so and read an entire book without ever buying it!

[lifeis42]

book stores are amazing because when you go in there for two hrs. or so you can read new copies of books without missing or ripped pages in comfy chairs

I agree, I love spending time in bookstores. Some stores have recently had coffee shops added to them, tub I prefer to absorb random chapters/paragraphs of books from a wide range of books.

A problem with sitting and reading in a bookstore is that I would fall asleep before long...
