i go straight to the cafe
then go to the manga section!!
i wanna know what's more popular i guess..
multifaceted
I'm not that interested in manga.

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

But the cafe is pretty awesome.
annalucky
manga, music, teen fiction and children's fiction. :D
Gigi
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.
whorify
^ 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!
rochelley-o
Young adult section, usually. I also check out the section where all of the making-of-movies books are. Entertainment section, I guess?
emazing
Young adults, I typed in yogurt before though. blink.gif
SarahxJoy
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. _smile.gif
Azarel
Photography/art books ftw!
datass

Manga and Classic novels
Jinny

tokyo-rose
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.
My Cinderella.
I usually head for the children's section because the young adults can't be too far ahead.
HakunaMatata
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. sad.gif

A month later they were there. dance.gif
Señorita Semi-Automatic
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.
Duchess of Dork
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.
mzkandi
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.
WHIMSICAL 0NE
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.
cancholac
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
monxcheri
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.
Kathleen
Fiction! throb.gif Palahniuk throb.gif Or the classics. I love me my classics. Then my next stop is graphic novels! XD.gif
mznikki
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 XD.gif

Young Adult

synthase
Young Adult
i like the 'thriller' section of the young adults
but i also like the DIY section
2027
I go right to fiction, and then browse for some sort of classic novel. I can't seem to get enough of those.
letsgoxdisco
i usually first go to the young adults, then fiction, children's fiction, performing arts (my new favorite sections), magazines.
angelrevelation
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.
ksoyeah
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. :]
smrkangl
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.
disco infiltrator
I usually hit up the Fiction and then the History sections. Maybe Biography if I feel like it.
eavesdroppers
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.
Elemental-Dragon
I always go for Science Fiction.
Can't get enough of that! happy.gif
Kathleen
^ Yes! I forgot about how I usually dart towards the bargain sections/aisles of the book store, too. XD.gif Can't forget those!
Elemental-Dragon
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.
Detective
Best Seller
Pumpx3itup

weed
The parenthing / Pregnancy section.

tongue.gif

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!

Alysia
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.
Crash2
Usually magazines, then literature, then the cafe for something on the way out.
jue
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.
omgomgKATHY
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.
RAWRstephishere
Young adults.
TheReasonWhy
young adult and then fiction
SayBloodyMary
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.
sweetdreamer298
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
