Big Name Bookstore

These guys are everywhere, including downtown. I would say they're the Starbucks of bookstores, but they usually also have Starbucks in them, so that just mixes up the metaphor. You like what's popular, and are very good at tracking what's in right now. Some people might say you're basic or too obsessed with what's "in" right now, but hey, lot's of people enjoy these books for a reason.

These stores are more selective, and definitely not common outside of more cosmopolitan urban areas. I've been too scared to go into any, because I probably can't afford anything in them myself. You have a refined and highly selective taste, tastes not always embraced by the hoi polloi, but definitely respected. People might try to call you elitist, but what's wrong with having a taste for the finer things in life?

These stores are probably the most varied and so, for me, the most interesting to explore. You march to the beat of your own drum. People don't always know to expect when they first meet you, but they generally find you unassuming and welcoming, if a bit out there. Sometimes your obscure tastes may lead to people calling you a hipster. I mean, if the shoe fits.
