Where are your Cheep Books?
Overheard at Goobe’s ; collective sacrifice – an illusion.
Over the last thirty days an event of epic proportions has occurred in India, over 60 people have died, farmers markets have collapsed, a large flight of capital from the peoples hands has shifted to the banks which are going to make loans to the privileged cheaper, labor markets have collapsed with no money to pay for daily wages, the banking system is devoid of cash to function their basic operations, the federal reserve system does not have the capacity to fill the void of demonetized notes, today while sitting at the store this enlightening conversation between two customers, more a monologue occurred, you may want to really read it…
When booksellers go apeshit.
What happens if a mother and a child walk in to the store, browse for a bit and then ask for an author who is really famous? The author in question has gotten a hell of a lot of people who do not read for pleasure, to read a work of fiction. This is fantastic, but the writing just sucks ass big time.
What happens to the bookseller?
Well to put it straight up, in our case we go apeshit.
