I “read” the balck swan in the cafe at barnes and noble in about 18 minutes. I really liked what I read. I’m not a speed reader. More of a cheap reader. I might have skipped the philosophy section though. I’ll take another look next time I’m there.
I do buy booooks there, too. But as a family I’d say we read about 5000 worth of books and puchase about 800 annually.
