24 hour bookstore

24 hour bookstore
There has to be a physically existing twenty four hour bookstore somewhere in an alley near one of the probably 46,000+ 7-eleven stores or the too many to count risqué bars. If such store exists, the 24-hour bookstore would probably be as magical as the fictional place in Robin Sloan's new novel, which is Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. It will have shelves of books that stretch on until it reaches the dark corners of the room. And the whole place will probably smell of pages of books, both newly printed and very old book smell. People can bring food and drinks to the store just in case they plan on staying for hours. Lastly, there will be reading areas all across the store proper. That my friends what I deemed to be the best store ever.

  1. This is too cool! Cool bookshelves are always cool. Collections of lots of little tiny things are super cool. And of course, reading is FUNdamental. ;D
