If you’re a book-lover, then you’re familiar with the intense joy you feel when walking into a Barnes & Noble and the thoughts you have every single time you go there.
- Holy cow, this place is beautiful. Just the color palette makes me feel all cozy!
- So many books. So many books. SO. MANY. BOOKS.
- Where do I begin? I want to read ALL OF THEM.
- Let’s start in fiction because who are we kidding? We’ll come out of here with at least a few of these.
- Ooh, best-sellers! I’ll just pick up a few random ones and get them. Whatever’s good enough for the New York Times is good enough for me.
- Please, God, let no one see me scouring the YA section.
- *Gently touches the spine of a Harry Potter book while passing by*
- I didn’t know this many teen books about vampires existed. This is concerning.
- Do not make awkward eye contact with the guy in the anime section. He will follow you.
- All of the people in the café look like they’re doing something really important. I wonder how many of them are writing books right now. I wonder if I’ll pick one of theirs up in THIS VERY STORE in a few years. Writing is so beautiful.
- Who would ever buy a Nook when there are so many lovely, real books to be read?
- Okay, I have to get one of the classics. I can’t live my life without reading all of them, so I should just start now.
- *Bypasses magazine section to find more books*
- LOOK! "AMELIA BEDELIA!"
- Wait, stop. I cannot go into the children’s section. That will just cause me to stay an extra two hours trying to relive my childhood.
- Nonfiction, here we go. Time to be an adult and learn real things.
- All of these psychology books look SO INTERESTING.
- Every self-help book’s title sounds like the name of someone’s Tumblr page.
- I wish I could know about every human being without having to read all of their biographies.
- Ooh, Travel!
- I will never have enough money to go to any of these places if I keep buying books. *Walks away to get more books*
- *Laughs maniacally while passing by the SAT Test Prep books*
- I should expand my horizons. *Walks through religion, sports, and social sciences sections*
- HOW IS EVERY JOURNAL THEY SELL PERFECT IN EVERY WAY?!
- WHY MUST I HAVE 17 UNUSED JOURNALS?!
- I’ll just get one.
- And a matching pen.
- The Moment of Truth. *Walks up to the register and dumps an armful of books on the counter*
- I’m not spending that much money… I’ll get around to reading them all eventually.
- After I finish the 15 books I have at home.
- Carrying bags of books out of the store is kind of a workout. I should exercise more.
- But who has the time when you have all of these books to read?
