I Absolutely Love Bookstores Stories of Experiences

I love the local book store here. The store even has their own kitty! The kitty comes and walks along with you as you browse the books. The store has new and old. I absolutely love the mix of new books and old books. Although, the...

I once read a book from cover to cover in a book shop. The owner of the shop said I would have to buy something or leave. I had intended buying a book but I left without doing so.

When I was younger, I was what you called a bookworm. I constantly had my nose in a book and I often was reading 2-3 books at any given time. This continued on into my younger teen years. I used it as an escape from my reality. This...

I absolutely love to read and will read just about anything. I bought a kindle in January and I really love it because it gives me the opportunity to get my hands on more books than I ever dreamed possible. I also love the library and...

I could spend hours in a bookstore. I want my eyes to skim over every book because what if I miss something great? Then, when I feel intrigued by a title, I have to pull the book off the shelf and read the back cover, and then I have to...

I bought a kindle about a year ago that I love reading on it is so convenient to be able to buy any book whenever I want. But after about a year of only reading books on this kindle I found that I missed the smell and the feel of...

You need to get rid of me for a few hours? Show me a bookstore and do whatever you need to do. Then come back when you're ready to go. I'll be there, probably with my nose in a book I just bought. If it's anything by John Jakes, I'll be...

You open the door of the nearest bookstore and walk in. The volume of the babble outside slowly recedes away and you feel the quietude around when the door’s closes. There’s a stillness of low voices and the turning of pages. It’s...

Our local WHSmith's is actually a beautiful building. The front section of it has these old stained glass windows of things it used to sell. It's got quite a tall roof, and there's a lot of light. It's mostly wooden, and the floorboards...

As much as I love to roam the stacks in a big chain store, looking for the brand spanking new, fresh, crisp, virginal copy of whatever tops my list that week, I also really love to rummage through the musty shelves of a used book store...

I love books, the feel, the smell, the sound of ruffling pages of a book. It is like medicine to a sick man or woman.
Too much? I think not.
But if it is, it's all Redig's fault.
Redig was a bookstore where you could buy books cheaply...

not exactly.. eheheh

but every time I see bookstores I will surely stare for long.... and when I am inside, look everywhere and see everything.. and love the smell of the books.

I love reading. But I find very little time to do it. I like fiction books, books you can get lost in and make your own world. I spent like, 3 weeks last summer reading the hunger games books. I just could not stop reading them. Then...

I love to go to the bookstore and one day my 15 year old daughter decided to come with me. I parked the car in front of our local Borders (this was way before they all closed) and we walked into the entryway. They always have shelves...

The smell of walking in to a book store is my favourite ever! The books smell so good! I want to live in one.

Waiting in bookstores has become my hobby ever since I started going home with mom after school. I would wait for hours so I try to discover shops and stores inside the malls (there are 3 malls near my school)  then I (or we, if I was...

I have a kindle now and though I love it, I miss having a good reason to go to a bookstore and just experience it.   Add to this that there are no more good book stores nearby...The bitter side to a great thing.

We just spent a week in New Orleans, and must have spent at least 8 hours altogether in various bookstores in the French Quarter. I hesitate to refer to them all as "used" bookstores, though they all had varying pedigrees. Let's say...

In South Freeport Maine, about 15 minutes from my home there is a large white building. It faces US Route 1 and backs up to I-295. Near by is a shuttered 1930s motel, an auto parts store, a great ice cream stand, a ford dealer, a number...

This is just sad to see absent spaces where there could be bookstores. Both malls had excellent bookstores, but not now.  Maybe an ep member will open one.
