If I go to barnes and noble and read books all day everyday in there will I get kicked out?

My cousin got kicked out of B&N for looking too homeless. Funny because he manages an independent.

Shit would never happen at Powell's.

Bring a drivers' license.

Are you trying to pretend you're too good to hang around a library? You think sitting on your ass at B&N makes you somehow better than homeless people and germs?

No. I just don't want to touch gross books.

OP its 2011, all books can be downloaded for free and viewed at your leisure on your computer or printed out for your comfort.

no need to be freeeloading store scum anymore!

I love the library. Honestly, I can't stand paying full price for books anymore. If there's something I want to read, I'll check it out at the public library. If I can't find it there, I'll either download it from Project Gutenberg or buy it at a used book store. Very rarely do I have to step into a Barnes and noble. Besides, almost anything, including hard copies, can be found on Amazon these days.

If I have to buy something at Barnes and Noble, that's fine. I would just feel weird sitting down and reading a book, especially if I don't end up buying it. Besides, I would be pretty pissed off buying a book that some schlup spent two hours reading in the store.

why does everyone think that once a book's been read ONCE by someone else, it's no good anymore? Honestly, it's not like you wiped your stupidity off on the pages like a contagious disease. Calm your tits, e/lit/est.
