Book stores kind of suck these days. I understand that books aren't a big business and they have to do something else to turn a profit but I just don't like it.

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa wants to go into a book store. Marge says "Well, I could use a muffin." Lisa says "I'm going up to the third floor where the books are." Well, at least they had a floor dedicated to books.

I went to the newish Barnes and Noble nearby and I really hated it. It has this weird mazelike layout with books intermixed with legos, giftwrap, etc, etc. So hard to find anything! I just want straight rows of shelves organized by genre and alphabet. And of course a big part of it is the café. I don't like coffee!

I guess people just go to the bookstore to get their legos and drink coffee these days.

I feel ya, man. The magic of old book stores and libraries is going away with the internet. I think, last sanctuaries are in big university libraries where people are coming for actual books to read and study. :twilightsmile:

Your post gives me nostalgia vibe. I used to work in book store and it was truly magical time :twilightsheepish:

In recent years, I have purchased all the books I have read from online bookshops, as the local physical bookshops no longer stock the books I wish to read... :sparkle-studies:

The only thing I don't like is how the store clerks try to push a membership on me, despite not frequenting the store enough to make a membership worth it.

Yeah, that's pretty much every store.
