Score...

Simple truths learned while at Barnes and Noble with no agenda and no time constraints:

• Being surrounded by books is always a good feeling. 
• Teen Paranormal Romance is a genre that now commands its own section? 
• Conversing with Bill Bryson would be sweet, but I'm certain I'd make a fool of myself if I ever got the chance to meet him.
• It's a surreal feeling to see the complete sonnets of William Shakespeare shelved so near to Snooki's autobiography. 
• I'm a fool for not purchasing the discount card. I buy books...lots of them. It would pay for itself quickly. 
• Buying a book is a good feeling even if you have no idea when (or if) you'll get around to reading it. 
• If it didn't cause more work for the employees, I'd always grab an Ann Coulter book and an Al Franken book and arrange them side-by-side in the Marriage section. 
• When I see that section for Manga, I always think of that Chris Kattan character, Mango, from his days on SNL. 
• Seeing awesome-looking personal journals just reminds me that my handwriting sucks. 
• I scored on two books both marked down to under $8.
