september city
I went to the mall for lunch the other day. I had a gyro with extra meat and no fries because I wanna be skinny like the spiderman. After eating, I went for a walk around the mall cuz I'm old. Just kidding. I saw a sign that said there's a new bookstore downstairs next to Macy's. I went and looked. There's actually a tattoo shop next to Macy's. Next to the tattoo shop is the new used bookstore. I think it was called Fine Books. I went inside for a closer look. No new books anywhere. Seemed kind of like a smallish selection. Nowhere near as big as Gardner's, but lots better than the used bookstore in the strip mall across the street that seems to have nothing but paperback romance novels. I glanced over their limited sci-fi selection. No Rucker, no Sheckley. I did however spot one by Wm. Rotsler and a few by G.A. Effinger. I ended up buying The October Country by Ray Bradbury. I'll be back for the others. I believe they buy and trade as well as sell, so perhaps next time I'll see more stuff. There used to be a bookstore in the mall. I think it was Waldenbooks. They only sold new books and magazines. It was way different. That closed about a year ago. The bigger mall out south used to have a Waldenbooks and a B. Dalton. Those are long gone now. Both malls now have Barnes and Nobles across the street from them. I haven't been out to that big mall in a long time. It's farther away and the traffic out there sucks. There were no bookstores in there last time I visited. I wonder now if that's changed. Probably not.
