Well you should have been kicked out of the bookstore. Most stores that

familiar with will let you thumb through material but will NOT let you

there (or sit there) and read something.

The Barnes and Noble in my town actually provides chairs for you to
sit and read magazines and books. Many of the chairs are overstuffed.
I would say they have a different philosophy than your bookstores.


Even Barnes & Noble will object if you read an entire magazine or entire
book. They are not a library but a business. The chairs and atmosphere are
so you can SAMPLE the reading material not spend the day reading.
