Yes, but bookstores don't make you fat. Well, most don't anyway.

What is sad is that I'm helping to lead the way. I'm reading more now but I go to the bookstores much less.

The bookstores were where I went to find something NEW. Something, and I didn't even know what. Just roam around until I found a new book, a new series. A library is something like that, but not really the same.

And as the paper bookstores go away books will become more expensive, harder to find, then fewer and fewer. Until the library will be a tomb of ancient books visited only by Sol Roth searching for the mystery of Soylent Green.
