True story: I ran in to Paul Giamatti at used book store called Iliad in North Hollywood. We were both in the Scfi/ Fantasy section and you could tell he was on the hunt. Saw him a bit later that day and he was chilling on the little couch, reading happily.

When I was little, my dad always had a stack of books (mostly sci-fi & mysteries) he was working his way through and took me with him to the library once a week. It became a lifelong habit -- I love libraries & I always have a bunch of books I'm working on. So great to hear these two nerds talking about my no. 1 vice.

Just last Saturday my wife, daughter and I went to pick up our son after his freshman year of college, and we stopped in Silva, NC for lunch, then went for a walk and stopped in a used book shop. I immediately found the sci-fi/fantasy section, which was in a little alcove that, had it had a heavy curtain across the entry, could have been the porno section of an '80s mom & pop video rental place. I scanned the shelves until I found a treasure - a 1978 copy of 'The Best of Murray Leinster', whom I've loved since I read his funny, and amazingly prescient 1946 short story 'A Logic Named Joe', in which he predicted the personal computer, complete with keyboard interface and monitor, and the internet. I could watch these two geek out over sci-fi all day long.

When I lived in Portland, Oregon I used to hang out at the best bookstore ever, Powell’s. It was massive and amazing. It was literally a full city block with an equally big storage building next door. I would buy a book and sit at the lunch counter on the street level and read and people watch. It was delightful. If you’ve never been to Powell’s I would highly recommend it as they have huge sections on every subject imaginable!
