Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about book stores… How do you choose what to buy from your local bookstore? Do you have a list, or just browse? What is the selection in your book store like? Do you find what you're looking for? Do you feel pressured to buy the kind of books the store makes prominent? (question courtesy of MizB)
Being a booklover, bookstores is one of my favourite shopping places besides the malls. I visit the bookstore at least once a week, thanks to the place where I work because there is a bookstore which is just a five-minute walk from my office building.
Most of the times, I do not have a list when visiting the bookstores. I just love to browse and look around, and I especially love the feeling of finding a book which I have been waiting for unexpectedly. The bookstore which I patronize has a wide variety. Apart from the English section, it also has a Chinese and Japanese section and a stationery section that mainly carries stationery imported from Japan. Although I love visiting this branch, I would still prefer to visit the main branch as it is bigger and offers a much wider variety. I do not feel pressured to buy any books on display, but I do feel something is amiss if I walk out of the bookstore empty-handed.
