Book Stores

For those of you that don't know I really enjoy book stores. It is one of the very few places I actually enjoy just browsing around with no intent to buy anything. I would like to buy more books if I could be they can get expensive, so I am usually content just seeing what's available. What's weird is I probably would have no interest in like 90% of the books in the store considering I don't really care for mysteries, young people books, romance novels, school type literature, self help books, and most non-fiction and magazines. However, I have come to just really enjoy the environment. I guess the fact that it is a place that exists based on reading and people's enjoyment of reading is refreshing to me. I have to say I enjoy TV and Movies but reading seems like such a healthier form of entertainment. TV and movies are so short and rushed to have a plot and a resolution. Books have more of a luxury, they can be drawn out sometimes even taking 3 or even 15 books to complete a story. The creativity and flow of story telling doesn't have to be cut short like it is in movies and TV because it doesn't have to cater to short attention spans. All this to say I really like book stores and if I ever have the extra couple million dollars lying around I would love to open my own bookstore.

I prefer to read fantasy novels but I am open to other genres I just don't go exploring them unless some one talks me into it. I hope everyone reading this likes to read but I know full well that there are a lot of people that just don't enjoy it. I'm convinced that they don't enjoy it because they just haven't found the right book yet. To those that don't read, if you're open to it I'd love to help you find the right kind of book for you, and I'm pretty certain you won't regret it. To those that do read feel free to comment why you like it and what you like to read.

A more positive note

So I seemed to have struck a chord with things that are a bit obnoxious in the last post. This time I've decided to go for something a little more positive. I'd like to talk about some things that I really enjoy. Not the obvious things, but the smaller things that can really make my day.

I really like soda that comes from a soda fountain, it tastes the best and I really like it when a place has Dr.pepper on tap. On a similar note I like it when a waitress or waiter brings me a refill right before my glass is empty, and when they just bring me one without asking if I want one.

I love the show Seinfield, and I don't think any other sitcom will capture comedy on that level. The Office is really funny but its different, Seinfield is a true gem.

I like when I'm playing basketball and I'm able to shoot a three pointer without thinking about it and it goes in perfectly. It doesn't happen that often but it is encouraging to know that my body can do it, and there's always the chance that I can get better and do it more frequently.

I like it when I am remembered places. Whether its the Doctor's offices I visit for work, or some where else that I frequent regularly. It is a good fealing to be remembered fondly and greeted warmly when you enter a place.

I like seeing people from High School. Even though there are some I don't really like and don't necessarily want to be close friends with, there is something about a brief re-living of the past that is enjoyable.

I like being able to provide a good music playlist for people when they come and hang out at my apartment. I like to try and anticipate songs they will like or songs that they will remember from back in the day. It may not always be noticed or appreciated but I like doing it regardless, because I always appreciate it.

These are just a few of the simpler things that I like. I would encourage you to think about some of the things that may not seem that significant but are enjoyable to you in your life. Please post them in your comments if you have the time, I look forward to reading them.

Check out the new poll as well and post your response. The last one was interesting, I am shocked that people actually selected that they would fall into the bottom of an outhouse and stay there, I really don't think I can think of anything more disgusting than that but i'll try.
