Thirty-six. Hope gleams in the idiot heart.

I like unexpected bookstores. The best ones are crammed tight with books like some bizarre jumbly attic library brought down to street level, with a certain quality of light that never quite feels fresh and with almost no one who shops there at the same time you do. All the books are as used as people are; they have histories you can't crack by

I like bookstores too. They are like old friends, men with wrinkled palms and knowing eyes, heads filled with more knowledge than I'd ever hope to gain.

They're among my favorite places to explore. Ranked only under craft and fabric stores, or vintage clothing stores

Erin go bragh! I should go wear a green dress and pretend I'm at all Irish today. Thanks for the reminder.

You make me think I should chance more dusty corners and out-of-the-way shops, with the way you write about these. Of course, I did say a few days ago I needed better reading material. Clearly, I should take this as a sign.
