Used Books Have Character--That makes 'em better!

I don't know about you, but personally I despise commercial bookstores. That's not really the right term to use, but that's OK. (I think I got my point across for that first part.) I love to read, though I may have forgotten to add that to my Bio on my profile. I LOVE to read. My house is filled with books that I lost or scattered about. And my room has piles of books just lying around. I've even read most of those books, so it's all good. But when I'm going shopping for NEW books, I prefer local/new-and-used bookstores that are filled with rows and rows of people's discarded books! I hate going to places like Barnes & Noble and Borders for my books. They're much too bright and are filled with overly helpful salespeople. I HATE IT. Plus, all of the books are BRAND NEW and everything is labeled TOO CLEARLY. I prefer to not know exactly where the book I'm looking for is, just the general area, thank you VERY MUCH. Because if I don't know EXACTLY where I'm going, I can come across new books I've neither heard of nor read. And the pages on used books are always softer! Ok. I'll be quiet now. :)
Love,
