At the Hairy Tarantula on Yonge Street - the most phenomenal amount of obscure fantasy that I have ever seen - and there's more in the stock room!

This totally looks like my kind of place...But I find tarantulas horrifying...

Let me tell you, W.C., that looking and perusing your blog and posts, I'm as overwhelmed as I was in that store.
What a reader you are!
As you know, I only read titles of books and rarely the books themselves.
But being in bookstores is my favorite recreation.
Though I should probably add more to my free time than blogging and bookstores.
Such as ... a public swimming pool.

Uh, yeah I do read quite a bit. I also review books for Random House and McLelland & Stewart, so I get a lot of books to read.

Unfortunately, my malfunctioning brain sometimes gets in the way and I cannot read - and I'm going through one of those periods now myself. I hope it's brief.

I love bookstores, too, but there aren't any decent ones around here. There is a great second hand place in Nelson, which is an hour from here and I usually hit it when I can. Otherwise, I rely on Amazon.

Which is a great resource if you're mainly interested in titles and covers!

You also appear to do quite a bit walking, and you take a lot of pictures. That's a start!
