I read this thread as I returned from a night out with friends at a local
restaurant which just happens to be next to a book store. We needed a baby
shower gift and she had to run off to Target before it closed and I tried to
convince her that a book is a wonderful baby shower gift and off to the
bookstore to stalk and shop I went. I don't think there is a cure and I
don't want one.

Subject: [LM_NET] LM_Net: re Confessions of a book store stalker
I had to laugh when I read these. Make me three b/c I too am a book
store stalker. A fellow high school librarian and I met for coffee
last weekend, then ended up at the public library, she for a craft
book, me for a YA sci fi title I wanted to try out, before heading
our separate ways. As she had been looking for something that the
public library didn't have, when I ended up at a local book store
later that weekend, I gave her a call to let her know. Turns out she
had gone, same day, to a local used book store. Two librarians, one
weekend day, a public library, two different bookstores. My son just
shakes his head. You begin to suspect that you're in the right field
when you leave a work week surrounded by books and readers and then
spend your weekends, yep, surrounded by readers and books. :D So
now, we've got "book store stalkers", bibliophiles, bookaholics,
biblioholoics. Any other good terms?
