This was the first time me going out and actually going to buy a book rather than just ordering one on online. I remembered that I actually I almost missed coming and had to rush out to meet my friend ten minutes after they already got there. The collection of books they had was really outstanding. From educational to sci-fi, there were several genres that I enjoyed. I purchased a computer science book and before I left to get back to campus, I actually went back and see if I can find some type of antique book. If I could, I would come back again just to find one. I love old books and originals and if they had one, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Endless possibilities
I have forgotten the feeling of buying a book as well! It’s sad to think most of society has as well given that book stores are rare and dwindling. Take for example the Barnes and Noble at my hometown. The only thing that seems to be keeping that store alive are the toys, novelties, etc. It seems to be about anything but the books!
Buying books is so addicting! I usually have to force myself to not attend events such as book sales like this one because I already have an entire bookshelf at home filled with books waiting for me to read. I hope you enjoy the books you purchased.
I realize how the technological advances have pushed us to forget about the physical books out there in this world. I hope you are enjoying the book you purchased! This made me reflect on taking some time off of our electronics.
