At least one of my coworkers isn't much of a fan of them anymore. Dealing with them, and dealing with shit customers has removed the glamor.

Lol I got asked if my job has made me hate books yet. Nope. Still love'em.

Right now I'm not reading Battle Ground by Jim Butcher, lol not a classic.

Camille is definitely worth the read, but you can also watch the b&w film by the same name.

Alexandre Dumas Jr wrote Camille, which loosely inspired Moulin Rouge. It's about a kept woman who falls in love, but dies of consumption.

I'm waiting for the next time I'm allowed to buy from my own store. >w< Get me some more classics.

I actually prefer the writing of Alexandre Dumas' son.

Yep. I tried to read House of Seven Gables and damn could Hawthrone just go on and one about one freaking room.

The Three Musketeers likes to meander and go off on tangents completely unrelated to the plot. Whole bunch of shit that could be edited out.

Honestly I haven't read much of Dicken's work. Probably should eventually. But I hate Nathaniel Hawthrone.

I've read a fair few of the classics at my store. Either because of school, or just because I was a pretentious teenager. Quick warning. The Three Musketeers is annoying to read.

I guess. People bought a lot of classics and self-help books yesterday. So maybe some of them were there for their New Year's resolutions.

Lol I was just so tired. We were ridiculously busy yesterday. Normally Thursdays aren't too bad, and it was raining. So my coworker were pretty sure it was going to be dead. Nope. Everyone needed books yesterday.

Dude I did not even remotely bother trying to stay up, after the day I had yesterday. Sleep was the only remedy.

Good morning. I started my day by walking into the kitchen where there was freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

We had a family come in, and while the rest were looking. A man and his daughter were just milling about. The daughter who is pretty young, was checking out the African American books. And asked if her dad would like to read one of the books. And he told her that they only read white books. She asked what were white books, and was being shushed. Because you know. Can't be loudly racist.
