Biscuit #62 - Going to the bookstore not to buy books, but just to hang out and read them because you are cheap.
Just because some activities have become socially acceptable does not diminish their Biscosity. There are a lot of things that are now coming into fashion, but really its still being a Biscuit. While the bookstores have now made it part of their business plan to put couches and coffee shops in thier stores to welcome the casual reader, if you have money to buy the book, go buy it, dont spend all day for a week reading the latest Twilight book. Originally the concept might have been born in colllege schools where poor students couldnt pay for the expensive research materials, but now its in vogue and today as I went to the Bookstore to read a little on scriptwriting, I saw people of all age groups and social circles sitting around reading books and magazines.
Ever wonder if this activity happens in a library, where you are actually supposed to read the books for free? Nope. Libraries are like nursing homes now, with quick visits to the section that you want to look up and visit with and rush back home.
Making it comfortable and pleasant to check out the book jacket or read the 1st chapter to see if this book for you in one thing, but staying all day to copy, take notes from and memorize a book is just plain cheap. And being cheap is being a Biscuit.
Oh and one place that this is NEVER acceptable....comic book stores.
