I remember being at Indie bookstores and Borders twice a week around the turn of the century. Now maybe once a month at best. I do order just as many print novels on-line and off Kindle.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-85273160196509398112011-01-17T18:48:57.535-05:002011-01-17T18:48:57.535-05:00Love browsing around bookstores too.

I don't know if it has to do with my love of books or my love of browsing, or both.<br /><br />And I totally agree with you--lower prices = me buying more books, or more e-books if I ever in invest in one of those kindle things.Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-48906965958705334452011-01-17T09:00:29.393-05:002011-01-17T09:00:29.393-05:00Jon -- Yes.

On the net, though, I can start looking for a book and end up watching a seventeen minute Keith Moon drum solo.<br /><br />LR -- Be careful with those stacks.Steve Weddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876211586767139613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-49267874366160283462011-01-16T14:12:23.611-05:002011-01-16T14:12:23.611-05:00We actually don't have too many used book stor...We actually don't have too many used book stores in my general vicinity. We used to have quite a lot.. but lately they've been shutting. One of them just did not more than a few weeks ago and it turned another down the road into the "Oh god we are buried under paperbacks" cause they bought all of her stock.. <br /><br />But I love going in and browsing.. you really never know what you will find.. I leave the "i need such and such author's 3rd book in this series" stuff to Amazon marketplace.. Its much less frustrating..Lagomorph Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06385231158384929598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-75245033536521623032011-01-16T12:55:33.142-05:002011-01-16T12:55:33.142-05:00Thanks to the 'Net, I sometimes think I spend ...Thanks to the 'Net, I sometimes think I spend more time browsing and buying than actually reading books.Naomi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005429772070247806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119990365479009764.post-90295116695299668392011-01-16T12:04:34.632-05:002011-01-16T12:04:34.632-05:00Wandering around a bookstore with no plan is one o...Wandering around a bookstore with no plan is one of my favorite things. Just meander through stacks of books and grab at things that look good. A book about The Outer Limits? Cool. Oh look, a book on baking while camping. Old Paperbacks!<br /><br />and the smell, oh I love the smell. <br />Books rock.Jon The Crime Spree Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516077426733561884noreply@blogger.com
