So, Lucky and I went to a mall to try and pick up the latest Dresden book. It was a fairly decent sized mall... Not huge, but big enough. We walked around two floors and scanned all the stores. There were fat people clothes stores, shoe stores, stuff stores, accessories shops, cheap jewelry stores, handbag stores, candy stores, watch stores, sunglasses stores, bodegas of all sorts, snack stands, you name it.... But not one book store... There are those right now who are reading this and saying, "Yeah... So?" and those of you who are reading this and are speechless. We left. We ended up driving a few blocks away to find an actual book store...
I get how rents in a mall may be outrageous, but considering the stores that we saw, it was really makes a person wonder... I mean think about it. There really must be a call for enormous people clothes and gangster subculture shoe stores and stores for meaningless things that people flock to so that these store owners can generate enough capital to cover their expenses to keep going. But a book store was nowhere to be seen. Do people NOT read any more? It was kind of scary when I gave it too much thought...
