I definitely agree! No one will go in there with me because I can spend all day in there just looking at all the different books. If only I could read them all.

My room smells like Books A Million, actually-coffee and books, so you know I spend a lot of my time there, to have my room smell like that! Comfort for me, comes in two forms-First form:when my fiancé has his arms wrapped around me, and second form: when I am in a bookstore/library. Those are the ONLY forms of comfort for me, and that won't be changing anytime soon!

I wish I lived there. I hate when I go with other people because they don't understand my passion for books and the time I need to spend there to feel replenished :P

I love bookshops and libraries for all the same reasons as mentioned above - I just feel totally at home and, no matter where the bookshop is located it always seems, to me, to be a place of refuge and serenity. Every visit to a bookshop is an opportunity to learn something new, an escape, an adventure. I really miss them more than anything else..... as much as.....good chocolate!

I love bookstores. I find them so relaxing and delightfully overwhelming. Sometimes that's where I go to get some "me" time, even if I don't buy anything.

Even after going digital, I love bookstores and libraries. Libraries especially because I can just sit and read and there's this automatic relaxing that happens when I walk inside. Some bookstores, especially with coffee shops and comfy seating are that good too, as long as they don't have nagging sales people.

I love the comfort and feel of the bookstore. My bookstore is Barnes & Noble and I love taking my book to their cafe to read. I would order a drink and that's the perfect environment for reading. I just love it so much.

Yes, I feel comfort in a book store. What could be more comfortable for a book reader than to be surrounded by books. It will feel like a fairyland.

I have difficulties being in a bookstore. For some reason, libraries make me feel uncomfortable. It is something having to do with the quietness and the cleanliness of the places. I feel like I am always being watched - as though I am going through someone else's belongings. In regards to bookstores, I tend to spend WAAAY more money than I should. Either way, I tend to lose.

My local bookstore is one of my favorite places to be. However, I usually try not to spend too much time there because I always end up buying too many books.

I do find a kind of comfort in walking up and down the aisles in a book store. It is a very peaceful setting as I scan the different books around me.

The sight of new books on a bookshelf gives me this pleasant feeling. Yes, I find comfort being in a bookstore.
