Shiny Books In Large Places
Why don't I hang out in book stores much? At night time the Barnes & Noble at the Grove seems like a beautiful place to be. It was just that the other night when Paula & I went to hear Jill read from Tiny Ladies In Shiny Pants. Three floors of books, music and a Starbucks; a lounge area where the authors read and where folks hang out and relax with a book. Lounge...lounge...oh yes, because it's that other kind of lounge that I like so much. The Whisper Lounge at The Grove, in fact, has a nice happy hour with cocktails and wines-by-the-glass for $4 and appetizers for $3. A couple of glasses of Cab and an order of frites were the perfect warm-up for an hour of listening to the hurling of profanities and profundities right next to the children's section of B&N.
