Dude, it's a used friggin LIBRARY bookstore, calm down, you don't need to reach over my shoulder, or through my legs, or between me and my missus, or crawl over my back to scan the price of a book. Just so you can sell it to me later online. You greedy. capitalist. scumfuck. The library is a socialist experiment. The whole ethos is sharing. And I think they should ban these fucking clowns so the rest of us can enjoy the experience. In Austin it's particularly ridiculous, the library book store is open for something like 30 minutes...3 days a week. All the rest of the time it just sits there... uselessly being paid rent on. I really, really dislike my Austin exp, so far. But, I digress... Because of these ridiculous hours, there's always a line around the corner before they open and it's *elbows out* and *trample anything that moves*. It really makes the whole thing a horrendous experience. Fuck those greedy people. If you don't know what I'm 'foaming' and 'arm-waving' about it's this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4498575_buy-used-books-resale-amazon.html If you have any authority, or know someone that does, ban these people. Thanks for reading...
Used car salesmen have been moved down a peg on the list of scum sucking bastards. (You ever seen The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp as a book hound? "THOROUGHLY UNSCRUPULOUS!" hehehe)
Ninth Gate, despite the reaming it received by critics, is a fav of mine. And I don't particularly care for Depp. Even as HST, who I enjoy. Anyways, I agree, it's just tacky and classless behavior to me as well.
i think we should be ridding libraries rather of pretentious idiots that judge others who are - for whatever reason just trying to enjoy a good book. it's the 21st century let's say they weren't there wouldn't you only be complaining that people are obsessed with television and hollywood that you are the saviour of the written word??
well there we have it. yours, that clown that uses electronic devices to check prices at the library used bookstore.
The point is this is one of those idiots who goes in and buys up all the books to resell online. The bookstore is only open for a limited time and real people don't have a chance to get anything with him around.
I sympathise.. As a reader..the idea of nincompoops using electronic gear in a library is simply idiotic The time the store is open is . well your agenda.. im in australia. A rule you can use is keep the book close and if they touch you.. they are ejected fro library. Personally i'd crack skulls but you dont want that. Be well Prill
