'I Fell in Love with Fiction for the First Time at an Indie Bookstore'

"I fell in love with fiction for the first time at an indie bookstore. I was being trained to be a book buyer. But we didn't get that much business and I was asked to move the fiction section from the back of the store to the front. I fell for fiction for the very first time then. I was never a library person. Even though I was broke, I always shopped at used bookstores and wanted to own books. It was often impractical. But there are stupider things to spend your money on. There are so many bookstores in the Bay Area to love. My two favorites have always been Walden Pond and Spectator Books."
