Barnes and Noble

I always feel a sense of well-being with a rush of endorphins in my blood vessels every time I go to Barnes and Noble, my favorite bookstore of all time. Too many books to conquer, too little time. I can stay inside the store for a whole day and feel happy and content when I leave during 11pm closing time. Books take me to all places that I have never been, put me on the shoes of the authors and their life stories, add more input to my nearly non-existent gray matters. There is even a children section where you can read to your kids all of the Dr. Seuss books you could ever imagine of and if you unfortunately doze off in the middle of reading Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, Starbucks which is located inside the store can brew you a grande latte cappuccino in 2 minutes time.

I went to Barnes last night with my ex-boyfriend, Aaron, who is also a Barnes addict like me. His favorite section is the magazine rack section where you can literally find hundreds of magazine ranging from Entertainment Weekly, to Car Magazine, to House and Home and even Drumming. I don’t have a favorite section. Almost half of the books in that store are appealing for me. I plan to go back there this weekend to quench my insatiable thirst of reading before my 2 month summer school starts in a week. What I love best with the store are their comfortable easy chairs scattered around that one can laze down while reading. These chairs compare to Steve’s thinking chair in his Blue’s Clues series which my pre-schoolers love to death. Barnes and Noble is my one heaven on earth places that I can stay around for one day, a day I can never complain of.
