i go straight to the cafe
then go to the manga section!!
i wanna know what's more popular i guess..

Posted by: Chérie. Feb 21 2007, 12:04 AM

I'm not that interested in manga.

I like kid's chapter books and picture books. I also like the How-To-Do books.

Posted by: toyo loco Feb 21 2007, 12:09 AM

For me its usually straight to either the young adult, literature, or mystery area of borders. Usually I know what I'm looking for so I just go there and leave.

But the cafe is pretty awesome.

Posted by: d4z3 Feb 21 2007, 12:53 AM

manga, music, teen fiction and children's fiction. :D

Posted by: gigiopolis Feb 21 2007, 12:58 AM

I always check out the bestsellers first. And, when I have time, I'll look through the entire fiction section. When I have even more time, I'll check out young adult.

Posted by: whorify Feb 21 2007, 01:00 AM

^ Yeah best sellers first then whatever


I hate the little manga kids though, I just want to kick the little ones that just sit there reading...and theres always so many of them!

Posted by: theoriginal Feb 21 2007, 01:00 AM

Young adult section, usually. I also check out the section where all of the making-of-movies books are. Entertainment section, I guess?

Posted by: emazing Feb 21 2007, 02:43 AM

Young adults, I typed in yogurt before though.

Posted by: tainted_angel Feb 21 2007, 02:49 AM

I go straight to the "Young Adults" part of the store to look for a book. After a while, I'll probably head to the cafè and get a frapp. Or go to the music/art/recreation section.

Posted by: Azarel Feb 21 2007, 02:51 AM

Posted by: Wo0yaPo0ya Feb 21 2007, 11:18 AM

It's a tie between teen fiction and manga. This school year I've been going to the manga section first a lot more though. <3Barnes&Noble.

Posted by: My Cinderella. Feb 21 2007, 12:12 PM

I usually head for the children's section because the young adults can't be too far ahead.

Posted by: kayceeisms Feb 21 2007, 12:18 PM

AP BOOKS. I'm a regular at the local Barnes&Noble; they recognize me because there was a time near the beginning of the year when all the AP books were sold it, so I went in like, every other day to check if they were there yet. And they kept telling me they weren't getting any more shipments.

A month later they were there.

Posted by: Señorita Semi-Automatic Feb 21 2007, 02:40 PM

At Borders I have an order: straight to the Classics > Photography/art > Young Adult > Travel > Music > Magazines.

When it's a used bookstore (it usually is) I had straight for the classics.

Posted by: Duchess of Dork Feb 21 2007, 05:43 PM

Straight to the cafe. After that, I head to the comics section if they have any (they usually have some trades). If I'm still there, I'll head to either the Autobiographies or books on Philosophy.

Posted by: mzkandi Feb 21 2007, 06:12 PM

Straight to the magazine section. I find something interesting then I head over to the cafe. After I'm done I browse the bookstore. The music section is near the cafe so I stop there. Then I head over to see what the lastest books are in the Graphic Design corner of the store. From there I browse nonficition then fiction books. Lastly, I stop by the Photography, Travel, and Religious sections. Yes, all in that order.

Posted by: WHIMSICAL 0NE Feb 21 2007, 06:52 PM

I always feel weird going into book stores and, like, reading the back of books and such.

I usually go to the new books and local favorites tables. lol.

Posted by: CiNnY01 Feb 21 2007, 07:30 PM

I go to the Starbucks in side & then Young Adults section if Im buying something. If Im not Ill go to the Starbucks then straight to magazines

Posted by: pink_is_love Feb 21 2007, 10:21 PM

i usually go to the cafe first `cause i know i`m gonna be long in there and i can`t stand smelling coffee when i know i should have one in my hand.

then i go fiction and that takes up 1/2 of my time there.

after that, i browse through the music section.

Posted by: Kathleen Feb 23 2007, 10:33 PM

Fiction! Palahniuk Or the classics. I love me my classics. Then my next stop is graphic novels!

Posted by: mznikki Feb 23 2007, 10:35 PM

I usually go to the best sellers first, well depending on why I'm there for example if i'm there to get a few books for some of my classes I do that first, then browse around the best sellers, cook books, home design stuff (re doing the house well we did already, but now decorating and such), fiction. and when I picked out a few books i then head to the cafe

Young Adult

Posted by: hixfive Feb 23 2007, 11:08 PM

Young Adult
i like the 'thriller' section of the young adults
but i also like the DIY section

Posted by: Savvy. Feb 24 2007, 01:29 PM

I go right to fiction, and then browse for some sort of classic novel. I can't seem to get enough of those.

Posted by: walk the line Feb 24 2007, 07:35 PM

i usually first go to the young adults, then fiction, children's fiction, performing arts (my new favorite sections), magazines.

Posted by: angel_revelation Feb 24 2007, 11:46 PM

I usually go to the new literature section, which is usually right up front by the door. They have all the new interesting looking popular books. Then I go to teen novels, or the rest of the literature section. I also like looking at all the notebooks and scrapbooks and picture frame stuff there is.

Posted by: ksoyeah Feb 25 2007, 11:33 AM

I usually go to the bookstore when I know what I'm going to get. xD
Like...today, I might go because I want a book on Latin Phrases and all that good stuff. xD If I had more time to go, I'd probably go to like...classic literature, popular books, teen novels, foreign, mystery, fiction, non-fiction, history...oh gossh, the list goes on and on. :]

Posted by: smrkangl Feb 25 2007, 09:55 PM

I'm glad there was a Manga/Anime option. Sometimes I look at the young adult section too, but manga always goes first for me.

Posted by: disco infiltrator Feb 26 2007, 06:50 PM

I usually hit up the Fiction and then the History sections. Maybe Biography if I feel like it.

Posted by: eavesdroppers Feb 27 2007, 08:51 PM

I normally head straight for the history section to see what's new [no pun intended.] I then make my way to the "classic lit" section becauce I read the classics for kicks. I normally end my visit in the travel section, dreaming over books on Britain, making plans for my future trip.

Posted by: Elemental Dragon Feb 27 2007, 10:15 PM

I always go for Science Fiction.
Can't get enough of that!

Posted by: Kathleen Feb 28 2007, 12:09 PM

^ Yes! I forgot about how I usually dart towards the bargain sections/aisles of the book store, too. Can't forget those!

Posted by: Elemental Dragon Feb 28 2007, 09:11 PM

Nope! Bargains rule! ^
I like fantasy too!
I know there's not much of a difference, but I think Fantasy has more unrealistic things happen.

I dont know why but i just L O V E it.



Trying to learn a thing or two before i create monsters.
Even though some of the things said in these books are RIDICULOUS and i would never in 1000 years do this to any of my kids!

Posted by: Alysia Aug 30 2007, 03:41 AM

One of the following: sci-fi (woo Gaiman!), photography, and if those fail me, classic lit. I do more of my reading at home, though, with books from the library. :) More time efficient/cost effective.

Posted by: JustinSezRAWR Sep 2 2007, 08:00 PM

Usually magazines, then literature, then the cafe for something on the way out.

Posted by: jue Sep 2 2007, 08:06 PM

I usually go to young adults and end up staying there for hours. A lot of the times I end up in the humor section. I love the 'Would You Rather..." books.

Posted by: omgomgKATHY Sep 2 2007, 08:15 PM

first the magazines and i pick up AP magazine & teen vouge, then I make my way upstairs to the young adult section and gather some books and sit down on the floor and read. Then I debate on which book i'll buy.

Posted by: RAWRstephishere Sep 2 2007, 10:58 PM

Young adults.

Posted by: jessielau623 Sep 3 2007, 02:22 PM

Posted by: SayBloodyMary Sep 4 2007, 07:24 PM

Just fiction, usually I grab something and then head to the cafe to read for a bit.

Then I'll do politics, philosophy, music, etc.

Posted by: sweetdreamer298 Sep 9 2007, 02:08 PM

I go right up the Literature section (which is fiction at my store) and then maybe to the young adults if I've heard of anything there that I'd like. After probably a short trip to the manga section XD

Posted by: KayleighKins Sep 16 2007, 11:05 PM

^ LULZ U B SO KOOL!!!11!!1!1

I go to the manga section out of habit. I used to be a huge Inuyasha // Ranma 1/2 // Maison Ikkoku // AnythingbyRumikoTakahashi fan until I finished Ranma and got bored with Inuyasha. But now I can't get into anything after Fruits Basket. All the plots are the same...and dumb.

So after that I go to the young adult section and mull around, then make my way to the photography books.

Oh yeah, and I deff scope out the Best Seller.

Posted by: lilsnoopy Sep 16 2007, 11:44 PM

Posted by: supimateecup Jun 12 2008, 02:14 PM

I usually have a book in mind that I want to go and buy so I go there first. Then I'll usually look around that section and see if i like anything else.

HA and THEN i go to the bestsellers.

Posted by: IzzyGrace Jun 12 2008, 02:21 PM

I usually hit the fiction young adult or the anime/manga section.
Then the cafe, (if I'm lucky and my parent's take me)
and magazines last. I like looking up Photoshop books.

Posted by: absinthe Jun 12 2008, 03:04 PM

I normally go to Barnes and Noble and when you walk in it takes you to the dvd/music section first. Someitmes I'll look around, other times I'll just head straight to fiction/non ficion then to sci-fi. Then maybe downstairs for reference books or something. It all depends.

Posted by: SaturdayRiot Jun 12 2008, 03:25 PM

i just walk in, go to the cafe, head to romance and then head to fiction x]

i honestly think that the romance novels poisoned my mind, haha.
Ive become to most cliche person ever -__- :]

Posted by: dreamstar7 Jun 13 2008, 12:33 AM

Manga, then music, then back to manga. Then to the Starbucks half a block over. XD

I cannot find the young adult section in my local bookstore, for some reason. Probably has to do with my horrible sense of direction. That and I'm too lazy to actively go look or ask. Hmm.

Posted by: marzipan Jun 29 2008, 10:25 AM

I usually go to Barnes and Noble with my friends. So when we get there, we go to the cafe and get something small to drink or eat. Then we go to the YA section, and possibly art.
Sometimes I go to look at manga. haha

Posted by: freeridefight Jun 29 2008, 12:30 PM

I usually go to the young adult, but then get aggravated that the only thing there are books about some young damsel in distress that goes through some journey. ITS BULLSHIT. So then I wander the store aimlessly and go look at Stephen King's or the bestsellers.

Posted by: Serendipity Jun 29 2008, 12:48 PM

Young Adult. I could spend hours there.

Posted by: MissFits Jun 29 2008, 01:25 PM

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Aug 7 2008, 09:04 AM

when you walk in a book store, what section do you tend to usually go to first?

Posted by: superstitious Aug 7 2008, 09:19 AM

This is going to sound so cheesy, but the cookbook section. I have a definite cookbook fetish. I have an entire bookshelf stocked with nothing but cookbooks.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Aug 7 2008, 09:25 AM

yeah, i never understand the cookbook thing. my mom has a ton of cookbooks and she rarely ever uses over 3 or 4 of them.



i usually first gravitate to the politics and current affairs. i think i pretty much skim over the entire nonfiction section before going to fiction. there's something more appealing to me about nonfiction books, but at the same time i can't really handle reading very many nonfiction books in a row. i have to have a break and read some made up nonsense.

Posted by: superstitious Aug 7 2008, 09:30 AM

It makes sense that you would gravitate towards nonfiction. You seem to have a keen interest in current events, you listen to NPR and obviously think about the world.

A friend of mine subscribes to Science and Tech type magazines and always migrates towards Technology or Computer type books.

It seems that something that is a pattern of interest to you would also be a likely subject/section of books you'd head towards initially.

On a side note, I actually do use mine regularly. ;) Some are specific to holidays, some are specific to things that children can help out with.

Posted by: brooklyneast05 Aug 7 2008, 09:40 AM

the four ingredient cookbook is all i need in life.

Posted by: Gigi Aug 7 2008, 10:08 AM

I always check the best sellers first because you can get discounts on them. Then, if I have a lot of time, I'll go through the entire fiction section.

And if I have even more time, I'll look at the Graphic Art books...lots of cool ones about advertisements, logos, packaging design. Then I'll check out the Beauty/Style section, because I love to look through the Kevyn Aucoin book and see how makeup can make Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman look completely freakin' different.

I can spend 2+ hours in a bookstore, no problem.

Posted by: paolabear20 Sep 29 2008, 09:17 PM

I go to Young Adult, or the Top 10 Books section.

Sadly, I don't get to go to bookstores as much as I'd like. Really, I only go when I specifically need a book.
