I currently work from home, which is wonderful, but every once and awhile I go downtown to meet with my colleagues. Last week, I went downtown, and about 3 in the afternoon (I never take lunch) I was needing a pick me up, so I went downstairs. There is a bookstore in the first floor of our building. Well, I walked around, and saw that I have or am on the wait list for every book they had displayed. So I went back to look at magazines, and I subscribe, digitally, to every one I was interested in.

What a bummer! I have seen people talk about how sad they are that the book stores are disappearing, but I couldn't relate. But when I can't get my jolt at 3:00 from Books A Million, I understand. And as someone who has bought less than 10 pbooks in the last 6 years, and those from Costco, I understand that I have only myself to blame.
