Seriously wonderful call to arms for books. I work in a book store, so naturally I'm biased, but it still blows my mind to see people who only come in and shop the movies (we also sell media). Like...there are 100,000 things in here that will expand your mind, most of which are priced under $8, many under $5, but all you want is a $2 copy of "Blade Trinity" or a $3 season of "Seinfeld"?
I mean, really?
We've got gorgeous art books, thrilling works of fiction, hundreds of poetry compilations, books on learning other languages, books in other languages, classic literature, books on self-improvement, books on history, books on religion, philosophy, metaphysics, psychology, sociology, science, nature, mathematics, engineering, architecture, technology...a huge selection of fine bindings and out-of-print material, but you're only interested in a copy of the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake?
Has ignorance always been worn on one's sleeve like a badge, or is it a recent development?
What the hell is wrong with us.
