*Whine Alert* I *hate* shopping. I always have. Going grocery shopping is one of my least favorite things to do. Sometimes, I 'reward' myself for going shopping by buying a book while I am there.

Book buying is my greatest vice. It's my beer, my cigarettes, and my oreos. It's healthier then any of the aforementioned, and in some cases, it's cheaper.

Unfortunately, the North Perkins Wal Mart has downsized it's magazine and book area. What used to be both sides of a full aisle is now down to one side of a single aisle. It's stuck in the back of the store, not very attractive, and the variability among the books is way down.

I have also noticed that Hasting's has downsized their book area. It's like the whole world is shrinking. Not just what is in it, but what is possible through books.

Don't get me wrong - there's still a lot out there through E-publishing. And I love my kindle. But I still like the feel of a page in my hands. It's still the best reward out there.

I wish someone would open a bookstore in my community. Something along the lines of the old community bookstore. I know it may not feel like the best financial investment, but it sure would be fun and improve the artistic weight of our community.

We sure have plenty of restaurants and bars. Surely there is room for a bookstore!

Maybe we need a book restaurant, or a book bar...
