| Bookstores are getting ready for the upcoming Steve Jobs biography (next Monday). |
 |
| Two interesting book covers |
 |
| New edition of Agatha Christie, larger print, easier on the eyes |
 |
| Things I bought. The clerk said the cover is evil looking. Guess he is not an Amazon fan. |
The highlight of my pretty boring life is my weekly (usually Saturday) bookstore stroll. I usually bought my morning coffee at Dana Cafe (a pretty funky place, today they were out of one dollar bills and told me I got the coffee free since I am a regular), then walked cross street to the Book Inc. around the corner. It is not a big bookstore, but it's my favorite one. Every visit is like a little exploration. I surveyed the new books like a naturalist tried to find a new plant. No matter how good the Amazon book recommendation engine is (in fact, it's pretty bad lately, do they change the algorithms?), it's no comparison to what I can find in the real bookstore.
