Someone make this for me.

I have finally conceived of a cruise-style vacation that would actually appeal to me:

[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:40:52 PM): *drool*
[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (5:41:22 PM): ohhh.
[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (5:41:26 PM): There's a day's work there...
[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:41:37 PM): Five. Million. Books.
[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:41:44 PM): They give you a sheet telling you where the categories are.
[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:44:26 PM): It's almost enough to tempt me to Somerset.
[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:44:40 PM): But I'm not sure even Krista would approve of flying to England to go to a bookstore.
[livejournal.com profile] kafkonia (5:44:48 PM): Although she just bought a half-dozen or so books today, so maybe she would.
[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (5:45:04 PM): I think there's nothing wrong with flying places for giant bookstores.
[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (5:45:11 PM): We could have a junket or something.
[livejournal.com profile] cristalia (5:45:16 PM): "Large Bookstores of the Mediterranean"

You would sit on the boat, eat nachos, and read your books. Until the next bookport.

Tell me that doesn't sound like the best thing ever.

Slightly closer is my used bookstore of choice in Portland, OR: Powell's City of Books. It doesn't sound quite as big as Book Barn though.

I would totally go on a cruise of book discovery... sail to exotic lands, meet new people, and read their books.

My drink of choice would be a gin and tonic. Have to keep the malaria away, doncha know.

Medicinal! Not recreational!
