Back in the 70's I worked at Seattle's Pike Place Market near what was then the world's only Starbucks. Excellent coffee and a good book were then and still are great pleasures to me. I still prefer cozy little coffee shops like that first Starbucks, before it became a ubiquitous brand name with sterile shops, and don't mind spending money for a good cup of coffee and a good read.
Yesterday I paid $14 for a book that will probably take 2-3 days to read, which is still cheap entertainment. Usually,though, my books cost no more than a good cup of coffee and less than a movie ticket.
