I have a psychological problem with bookstores. Any time I walk into one, I freeze up and get really anxious. I want to read everything, but there's just too much! Help me, somebody! Anyways, beside this personal problem, I love Borders. This one is especially cool because my friend is an employee and the manager is a magician who rides to work on a Segway. No joke.
