Book and coffee anyone?

I think going to the bookstore where there's an integrated coffeeshop is great. I like getting a good book or magazine and just sitting at the table with some Irish Creme and relaxing. Anyone else like to take a spell doing this? I think these atmospheres are just great.

I like the atmosphere too, though I've never gone to a bookstore to read and snack/drink coffee/relax, probably because I'm not sure if I'm supposed to buy the book and then read it, or read it and then buy it, or...

Most of my reading gets done in bed before going to sleep. And I spend so much time on the danged computer that not a whole lot of reading gets done anymore... sigh....

One of our bookstores here in Seattle is a wonderful old place, and they have a great little cafe in the basement.

 

Buy the book first, hehe. It's perfectly fine to sit down with your purchase and read--that's what they want you to do, plus it's fun. The little cafe in the basement sounds neat, I'd visit it.

Come on, guys, I'm trying to get a lighter mood around here! Does anyone else enjoy a good book, period? Just curious. This is the lounge, and i'm just "lounging" at the lighter side of the room by the fireside. One of the best novels I have read recently has to be the Magician series by Raymond Feist. I'll toss that in the air, maybe someone will reply, lol.
