Likes: Bookstores

Maybe its a generational thing, one which they claim mine falls out of, but I disagree, there is something perhaps even magical about going into book store. Not one of those new Barns & Noble stores filled with mocachinos and hyper friendly sales associates, but a local book store. One with shelves upon shelves housing masses of crudely stacked books organized by category. As you walk around your nostrils become inundated with that "old book smell." You see the proprietor out of the corner of yout eye, as she briskly walks by, with a never ending armload of books, though when interupted by a query like 'where can I find a copy of Old Man and The Sea', she will take you right to it. These experiences are what makes up a trip to the book store. This is something that can never be mimoked or replaced by a computer screen, and this is they reason they are wrong.
