Exactly.  I love opening up an older book and seeing dog eared pages.  I know someone actually read it and I'm sharing in the assimilation of the same knowledge.  :grin:

It's been a long while since I was in a really good used bookstore, that's good stuff right there.

I'm really lucky.  There's about 5-6 within blocks of me.  One has this awesome Metaphysical section with a lot of used Robert Anton Wilson books, which of course I already spent full prince on.  :crankey:

Where do you live again? Boulder, Colorado?  I lived in Estes Park one summer and they had a good used bookstore from what I can remember.

The best one I've ever seen is on the outskirts of Baltimore, my dad said he recently drove by there and it was closed. :sad:

Ehh, well-read books have too much humanity in them.  I like the smell of the paper and the ink, with crisp words shouting out at me from a virgin page.

Its something about popping their cherry which gets me so excited.  I think of its future and the eyes that will read it long after I have left my own residual energy imprint upon it.

But hey, in the end its just a difference in preference :smile:

I find audio books are great for road trips.

Just south of Downtown Denver.  I used to go to Estes Park all the time when I lived in Fort Collins, about an hours drive away.

Cool. I worked for a friend of my dad's who did family reunion and large group photography up in the mountains. It was a good time.

They have a couple, but..I dunno. Something about finding them in random small towns is always better.
