Sooo, don't know if any of you all are aware of a nifty little thing called Paperback Swap, but I just got tuned into it. I bet if you have a decent used bookstore in your town, there is no reason for you to know about this great site. Unless, of course, you are reading this right now. It's paperbackswap.com, PBS for short.
In Knoxville, where I am from, we have this awesome used bookstore called McKay's. Awesome in selection and usually, price. Not so awesome in customer service, or let's be frank, employees that give even the tiniest damn. The hipster blase attitude works well when you are pretending to be bored at a rock show or, god forbid, forced to take your little sister to the mall. It doesn't come off so well when you are sighing about ringing up my requisite suitcase-filling number of paranormal romances that I will be taking back from winter vacation to Las Vegas. It doesn't matter that my Mom, my sister, and myself will spend a little over $200. We are only capitalist whores that should have purchased "The Anarchist Bible" or a Nick Cave CD, slightly scratched, but we shouldn't care, because it's just so damn good.
