Underdog, Spork, and I went to the Birchbark Bookstore yesterday—50,000+ used books in a restored barn on a back road about fifteen minutes from our house. We go there about twice a month, because the selection is so good and the prices are extremely low ($1 - $2 for paperbacks). I'm not much of a browser—at those prices, if something looks potentially interesting, I just grab it.
After about twenty minutes, I tracked down Spork to see if she was ready to leave. She looked at the thirty books I had jammed into my canvas carrying bag and said, "Dude, you're like Katamari. You pick up everything you roll over. Slow down."
