I feel so weird surrounded by all these choices. Maybe most people don't get this but I tend to want to know about and do a lot of things. I wonder if this feeling is normal. And the other thing is going in a bookshop can make me reassess what my priorities are. I might go in looking for cooking inspiration in the pages of cookbooks but come out with a thought I read in a philosophy book running through my mind. Anyone else experience this?
I'm a bookworm but I can't really relate to this.
I should say that these days I do nearly all my buying online, but even so, online or IRL book stores back in the day, I always knew what genres I was looking for, and I would just pass by the rest, not really noticing them.
I head straight for 'my' place in the store.

I actually dream about bookshops and libraries. Often I wake up delighted to have discovered some rare and exotic book that doesn't actually exist...
I too have had plenty of dreams where I browsed books in some store and picked interesting titles. Once I even dreamt that I was in England browsing a bookstore, and I found this beautiful book about how sea turtles communicate. I wanted it so badly. I still do!
