    I love going to the bookstore. What's the name of yours, DM? Looks like you got a lot of good books. Happy reading!

    It is called Friends Corner Bookstore. It is an awesome bookstore, it is associated with the library and so profits made off the books are used for the library. The books are donated, and it is located in this sort of upper class area so a lot of times there will be books that look brand new sold for really cheap. There is a great selection of both contemporary books and classics.

    I avoid bookstores cause I tend to leave with to many books.... I like your selection, just read Grendel, using it for my BA thesis. I really liked it, a philosophical monster, how can that be bad?

    Yes, that is why I try not to go too frequently. I already have more books than I can read. A while back my sister read Grendal, and she is the one who first told me about the book, and she really enjoyed it, and well it sounded like the sort of thing that would be right up my ally, so I was excited when I cam across it in the bookstore.
