books?

My vertigo was flaring up today, but I wanted to go out while the weather was still nice, so this afternoon I drove to Skylight Books. After I put my purchases (50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me About the Multiverse by Karyna McGlynn and Dream of Europe: selected seminars and interviews: 1984-1992 by Audre Lorde) in my trunk, I walked to the corner to Tacos Tu Madre. While I waited for my order, a guy walked by saying to a woman, "...Because who really reads a bunch of books?" They walked around the corner, and I started to laugh.

About a minute later, a couple of women walked by, each carrying the armload of books they'd just bought at Skylight.

I didn't make it to the library before it closed this evening (I was still about five minutes away), but all the same made out like a bandit because on the way I passed a Little Free Library containing Louise Glück's Poems 1962–2012 (2012) which is like two inches thick in paperback and had apparently never been read; I took it home.

Were they together? Could it have been for a book club, maybe?

Some people....

Glad you had tacos and books, though!
