I still find the magic in bookstores, as well as in libraries. The sheer number of books puts me at ease, and the way that I look for books makes places like Half Price Books and libraries amazing. I look for books by going to a section I'm interested in, and shelf reading. Big bookstores don't work as well for me for this, because they have only the "popular" stuff. But a place like HPB (or most any independent booksellar, though there aren't really any of those in the areas I frequent) ... this is the way to find amazing, unique books that speak to me. But even if I don't find anything, a trip to HPB (or the library) is never wasted, just because being around those books is so good for me.
