Favorite Bookstores
To celebrate the indie bookshops that are still alive, today the Huffington Post posted its readers' twelve favorite bookstores. Powell's made the list. So did City Lights and the Strand. Admittedly, I have not been to all twelve of these locations, but I'm surprised not to see the Harvard Bookstore here; it's one of my all-time favorites. Take a look at the top picks and tell us what YOU think, dear readers!
