Nope. You lost me. I love the chance to go to a bookstore, plop down, and read a bunch of stuff in an easy chair. If I like something, chances are it will go home with me if I can afford it. But I read too much, too fast to be able to afford to buy everything I read. If the bookstore is good enough to put out chairs and host a coffee bar, far be it from me to refuse the opportunity.
