bookstore

[beige_alert]

I stopped the Giant Chain Bookstore At The Mall (Barnes and Nobel, specifically) on the way home from work. Evidently the shipment of foreign magazines arrived, among others. Things I've learned:

• There is a German GQ, and compared to the Spanish GQ, it is notably lacking in photos of naked women. Let's face it, GQ is not the greatest thing in print, and if I'm going to try to read it in a language I don't even speak well, I at least want naked women.
  
• Der Spiegel is also lacking in naked women, but it's a lot more interesting.
  
• Wow, I really don't know any vocabulary, do I? Still, I actually have learned a lot recently.
  
• There is a magazine for every interest. The number of highly specialized gun magazines, for example, is amazing. Gun magazines? Of course. Handgun magazines? Naturally. A magazine about just .45 cal M1911-type handguns? Yup. (I imagine there must be a magazine magazine out there somewhere, too.)
  
• For some reason not clear to me, Joyce has been reading up on Airsoft pellet guns recently. Is there a magazine for that? Of course! I bought a copy for her.
