I went downtown with a friend today and introduced him to one of my favorite pastimes: book diving.
Around the (0,0) of my city, there's a whole slew of used bookstores. Some people are repulsed by the idea of buying anything used, but I love used books. Each one has a story and character. There's math books from 1914 and well loved copies of old favorites. Best of all, there's the smell of old books that permeates every corner of the shop and hits you as soon as you walk in the door. These books are being given a second chance to be useful and impart their knowledge and sometimes you find something you'd never expect. I'm a fan.
