Borders

I just came back from Borders, the last remaining Borders in my area.  Last year they already closed one nearby, but now the two-story Borders in White Flint Mall is closing! Of the 200 stores to be closed because of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy file, they had to close the ones near me! :( It was a little upsetting to see "STORE CLOSING" signs plastered everywhere, yet it was so exciting to see books on sale.  When are books ever on sale?

When White Flint Mall replaces Borders, I hope they turn it into another bookstore. There's something about bookstores that beats the library and the nook. Sitting in the comfortable couches with the soothingly quiet atmosphere, the low background music, the light coffee smell, and the untouched pages of a book just feels so peaceful and relaxing. I'm definitely going to miss it.
