I'll add it too this list. I'm fanatic and neurotic when it comes to reading most books... I'll pick up other things and go back to other things, and hope I finish what I start. A fluttering, you know.
I love working where I work. It is unlike any other used bookstore I've ever been in... and it's the largest I've ever been in. On first entry, it doesn't -look- like a used bookstore at all because we've(they've) expanded so much in the last twelve years... It's super-clean, well lit, and reasonably well organized. Our book buyers are very choosy about condition... we see a lot of books come through that are in mint condition, and approximately 15% of our stock are actually new.
In that way, it lacks some of the atmosphere of many bookstores I've been in... even some of the atmosphere that I valued, that it used to have. I'm very much a fan of dusty nooks and books that have other people's writing in them.
Nonetheless, Title Wave is a fantastic business... and a fantastic place to work. I'm very pleased. I really feel like... right now, for the moment, this is a good niche for me. The job was a windfall such like I have never seen... the day I turned in my app, I was interviewed and later called with my starting date.
I liked the writing in Tribal, by the way. I didn't realize it untill afterwards that it was something from a while back... I thought, when you'd posted, that it was something you were -beginning- or had recently began. It sounds... a little disorganized, a little breathless. Perhaps something geared more toward community discussion would be better? An LJ community, or messageboard on another server? I don't know about the rest of your fans, but I for one would be happy to participate. I'm sure I could use the inspiration.
