What is it about books? I find myself, almost, addicted to them. I mean, my “To Be Read” pile is huge. My “I really want to read these” pile is even larger. And, my “These are Next, honest” pile is the largest of all. It’s almost like I can’t help myself. I love going to Barnes & Noble and Borders. However, I think that I enjoy myself most when I’m inside the walls of used bookstores. They are my favorite places to drift off into a different reality. So many books, so many unusal topics, mixed with the classics, and all for a low price. I mean really, who else can have a discounted addiction?
It never fails, at least once (usually more) a month I find myself at each of the used bookstores in my area. There’s one more that I go to about once every 6 months (it’s a little further away). And, without fail, everytime I go to Texas to visit my aunt R, we always go to the Halfprice bookstore. It’s a blast! I think we finally have it set in our minds now, that the prices of those books aren’t marked with pretty colorful dots, nor complicated charts…. if you want to know the price of those books among the shelves, teh ones that aren’t marked? Well, you just simply look at the title of the store. Halfpriced Books. 
— I can’t tell you how many times the first couple of times we went there, that was the question that always seemed to come up. But now? Now, we are experts!
