They likely have a new copy of what you're looking for, and a better selection than the B&N nearby, but 99% of the people in there are exactly what you would expect. The only interesting person there is the cashier whose face is 60% forehead

Book Thug Nation in Williamsburg is based. Awesome selection, best prices, almost no Rupi Kaur tier bullshit. If I were to look for a /lit/ friend IRL I would start there. I'm fairly certain their staff browses /lit/ but regardless it's the closest vibe to /lit/ in NYC.

Strand has the biggest selection, but their pricing of used books is not all that much of a discount. Certainly better than a Barnes and Noble/Starbucks if you'd like to do some analog browsing without any targeted algorithms telling you what you might like. You could also check out Book Off.

>>14663219
I've been there dozens of times and never met anyone but I have gone there before as an add-on of sorts to dates. It's a bit like going to a museum in that you get to pseudpost to a captive audience. Let her pick a book though; don't pick for her.

You're a fucking idiot if you think there's some sort of garden of Eden where all the cool people live. All of the cool people look like all the shitty ones. Talk to lots of people, meet lots of people, the interesting ones stand out. On the street, in a cafe, a literary professor looks just like any other retard.

You, OP are the shallow one because you're just saying "wah I don't wanna talk to hipsters."

You're a fucking loser.

All the friends I have ever made seem to have become so by mysterious accident. I've never intentionally made a friend. Attempting to do so usually results in a friendly conversation only to subsequently be discarded from their fleeting memory (and you likewise), and this is especially true of big cities where one's social faculties are overloaded.

The number of people I want to chat with, lick, cuddle, bro out with, fuck, sympathize with, hate, assault, is so massive that I end up not being able to engage with anybody new except in limited encounters, a paradox of choice if you will.
