Bookstore

I went to Border bookstore today after a church band practice. It always a pleasant experience going to a physical bookstore even though the virtual online bookstore does pretty much every thing I need reagrding to my book shopping need. There's the aspect of physically touching a book that is appealing to me, and then the fact that social and culture awareness magazines help me to broaden my view on humanistic aspect of life around the world.

For instance, I read the Bitch magazine with an article that talks about the raise of JAP culture which makes me better understand the subtext behind comedy show Sarah Silverman Program. And then I read the translated Japanese comicbook ROBOT and read some distribing Japanese comics.

I mean, sure maybe I am able to find all these online, but the beauty of a physical bookstore is that they are all just right there, instead of me jumping around to find interesting material to read.
