Barnes and Noble has become really bad. It even has a STEM “toy” section so middle class WASPs can develop their children into perfect little bug men

yikes

It's your own fault. But still, there's one in my own neighborhood which is just too "on-the-nose" about this: Moon Palace books.

The store layout has deteriorated over the past decade but it's still preferable to making Jeff Bezos' biological immortality more likely (he should be killed. Someone should murder Jeff Bezos). I did groan when they started removing bookshelves to make room for the "middle-of-store toy section", roughly that same decade back, which you see in each one.

I know that feel

I fucking hate walking into bookstores and seeing the popular shelves being dominated by fucking anti-Trump books and other politcal trash. All of the information in those books is going to be irrelevant in a year. How about you encourage people to read more classics or underrated titles?

real bookstores stock the entire loeb classical liberry and nothing else

Go to a better book shop.

>walk into a used book store
