Day 8

I was struck today by the way in which Barnes & Noble is, no matter how "corporate" or bland, still in a completely different league from basically any other type of big-box, mall-linked store.

While they didn't have several more obscure books I idly searched for, they did have say, Jameson on Jameson, a series of interviews with Marxist cultural critic Fredereic Jameson, which caught my eye. You certainly wouldn't want to have to limit your library to what could be found there, but I suspect such a restricted diet would be far more enriching than one limited to, say, Johnny Rockets or Victoria's Secret or Eddie Bauer.
