(Thank you for all the comments on my last post. I'm just-- I can't reply to them right now. Trying not to think about things is apparently my coping mechanism at the moment. So, uh, possibly expect some spamming over the next couple of days?)

It looks like Borders is officially closing. It's not really surprising, considering they already closed

I'm kind of sad about Borders, even though we saw it coming. I liked the scones in their coffee shop. :(

I am, too. We shared the same hometown! (And their cafe food wasn't half bad, considering.)

A teaser trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man has leaked as well -- apparently there's something in the water over in Hollywood!

Bookstores have become way too expensive for me. I just can't justify spending something like $8 for a little paperback, let alone paying hardcover prices.

Long time to wait for The Dark Knight Rises, but it looks good.

Yes, looks like book shops are going the way of record shops. Sad, but there's probably no way to stop it. The world changes.

The "conclusion" part of the Dark Knight Rises trailer makes me a little sad (even though I already knew it was Nolan's last). As does seeing that Borders is closing, although I certainly contributed to the problem by doing almost all my book shopping on Amazon. It's too bad the brick-and-mortar stores are having so much trouble reaching a competitive price point. :(
