A Dream Partially Crushed...

- Inspiring Bookstore Shakespeare And Company In Paris -

For as long as I can remember:

I have always wanted to open up a bookstore.

A cozy, indie, creative bookstore.

But with the growing increase of ebooks -

Independent bookstores and even chain bookstores

are shutting down and settling for the world of the Internet.

This completely shattered me as I have come to realize that my hopes

for a bookstore of my own is coming to an end.

Deep down inside I hope we will return to real things

 instead of everything being via the Internet.

That people will start to miss the feel and the smell of a worn old book.

Or even the company of people reading together in a welcoming bookstore.

But until that day comes:

I will stash my ideas of my bookstore

deep down in the back of my vault...
