Communal Places for Literary
Enthusiasts
D. A rolling
cart (for purchases) and an overnight bag (ha!) might be in order for a visit
to the Dickson Street
Bookshop in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The sheer volume of used
and out-of-print books is a staggering delight for any reader. Setting aside
ample time for browsing is highly recommended! The Doomsday Coffee & Roasterie is one of
several nearby restaurants and is only a two-minute drive away.
Do you like to work or read in Coffee
shop settings?

Reading? No. I get too distracted.
ReplyDeleteBut I LOVE to write in them. Coffee shops and libraries work great for my creative process.
Looking forward to seeing what you do all month.

Thanks for chiming in, Tim! I agree about distractions, though I've been known to read a book (at the track) during a NASCAR race ;-)

ReplyDeleteHi Diedre - I don't get stuck in a bookshop reading ... I get hooked to buy too easily. I'm amazed at the second-hand bookshops that are around ... we have one here - but it doesn't have a reading area - equally they're happy if you stand around!! All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi Hilary!
DeleteTrue, not many have reading areas. I don't mind reading while leaning against a wall of books ;-) I once read an entire chapter before buying a book, though I already knew I would buy it.
