The bookstore I used to go to all the time when I was younger

Why? It's an outmoded business. If you want a comfy area to read in then visit your library. It's much cheaper.

Why would you ever read in public? Do you want people to think you're some kind of a loser?

>>60380
(not the same guy) I personally find it quite comfy to read or work in a public space, if the place is dedicated for what I am going to do. It puts me in the mood for reading or working, and fortunately the ambiant noise doesn’t bother me.

You're the tripfag, you tell me.

Yeah, jokes aside, I used to do a lot of my reading in the bus back when I still used to commute. It's pretty easy to tune out to background noise if the book is interesting enough.

Reading in public is totally a sociably acceptable hobby. Don't you remember this comic?

No surprises here. Filtered.

Feel the same about the movie/game rental places and music stores from my younger years.

There's actually a movie/game rental place in my hometown that's still in business. I don't know how.

Game rentals definitely still have a place in this world. I'd much rather just rent a game for a fourth of the price it would cost to buy it for a week or so and give it back.

>>60390
True. Not just the price thing, but it's also generally harder to pirate modern games, which dissuades a lot of people who normally pirate movies, books, and music.

I guess I should clarify that the specific place I'm talking about stopped doing game rentals a couple years back due to low demand.

I feel bad if you live your life by Quentin comics' hamfisted social commentary. They're rigidly restrictive and stifling.

I like bookstores, but not because of their selection of comfy reading spaces. I like them because many of them now have bargain shelves where they drastically slash prices to compete with Amazon. I love going into my local Barnes & Noble and walking out with like five books for under $15.
