I also can't resist but going in!!! Bookstores just have these cozy feelings to it, you know? There once was this new really expensive book I wanted to read, but it was too much, so I sat in the bookstore for a couple hours and finished it without anyone looking...it worked out rather well! :)

Haha... my local bookstore has lots of chairs so that you can sit and read books 😛 I mean, you're allowed to pick up a book, sit down and read it and go out of the store without paying anything...

^^ Yeah I agree on the review bit, that if we read too many negetive reviews, we tend to skip the book and its rather not fair. I kind of refrain from that doing that, I try at least . I usually stick to quick reviews and a overview of the story. Thatz about it! Many reviews sadly reveal too much of the story killing the suspense of it ! My friends often complain.

I like it when I read a book without any preconceived notion based on any review except that it is a good read or a well written one! If you know what I mean! I like the curiosity to remain!

And oh the library - cool... you;'ve already begun - I have too!! And believe am so proud of it too!

I've started too! how many books do you guys have in total? I have about 425 books the last time I checked, I think...

I can't but have to b/c of my family. When i go to a bookstore, i neve come out empty handed and due to this i 've got like 10-12 unread books which i am not able to read b/c of my tests. I can spend hours and hours in a bookstore which annoys my family members.

Yes i do understand your problem..
i also feel the same way as you do
but now i don't really need to go to a bookshop
i visit the website
http://www.librarywala.com
It has a very impressive collection
also i can see the review and the description of the book
and whenever i want to read a book..i just order it and it comes home so i don't even have to go to get it.
I just like to read books and don't collect them..
by doing this it saves me a lot of time and money..
hope i helped you
Happy Reading
Cheers!!!
