I couldn't find a single Murakami novel, you'd think you could at least find one of those. I was tempted to buy Bob Dylan's Chronicles, Vol. 1 the most, but I haven't actually heard most of his music so maybe it would have bored me. But yeah, the women working there bugged me too. They were talking amongst themselves and said they'd never read Stephen King. Now, while he isn't amazing, how could someone have never read one of his books? What do they read?

Oh and the sad part is how the more well-known books were the minority and under this small stack labeled "Literature", which seems a tad bit insulting, if you ask me. ._. Fuck Waldenbook's. It's kind of odd, actually, considering the place seems to be linked to Border's. If this is true, and they're both owned by the same people, why is it Border's is so much better?

I haven't been to a Waldenbooks in forever. I'm surprised they are still around. I remember when CrownBooks tried to become a megastore and opened up a few SuperCrowns, but they were no match for the Borders' and Barnes & Nobles' of the world. I still love browsing bookstores. Its the same with recordstores. That's the bad thing about internet sites like Amazon, they are shutting down bookstores and record stores and taking away the pleasure of the browse.

My kick ass reccomendation is "The Drifters" by James A Michener

Waldenbooks is a substore of Borders now...and has been for a while I guess. I really love Borders.

Recommendation:
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
