Dymocks has always been a shit-tier book store in Australia.

Here in NZ all the Dymocks stores shut down a few years ago. Various Whitcoulls and Paper Plus stores have been closing too. The main ones left are a few independent stores. Wonder how long those will last given this: https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/books/95181375/survey-finds-400000-new-zealand-adults-didnt-read-a-book-in-2016

So depressing too many bookstores in Melbs I walk into look like this. So much left-wing garbage. Not that im into partisan politics but a little balance wouldn't go astray. Conservatives tend to be a little more sensible.

Nigga dymocks is choice, I walk in with my backpack containing 1-2
Library books and 1-2 of my own then proceed to rack 10+ books per visit and maybe buy a $9 penguin copy of something which I return next visit for a different copy of some random shit.

Who actually buys from chain bookstores these days?
Only bookstores worth going to are second hand bookstores.
city basement books is the best.

>Almost one in five of adults read fiction in 2016, with crime, thriller and adventure novels the most popular genre.

>76 per cent of adults read non-fiction. Biographies were the favourite genre.

>New Zealand fiction appeared to have had a good year, with 52 per cent of adults having read a book by a New Zealand author.

May as well read the back of a shampoo bottle. Reading some ghost written biography is not intellectually stimulating.
