got a lot of people saying this is their dream too and frankly they need to STEP OFF

@JoelSchooling That series is aspirational for me

@TheThomason “No I don’t have any Ayn Rand, get the fuck on your way to Barnes & Nobles, Sparky”

@TheThomason I dream of having a coffee shop which no one comes in because there are 100 beagles in there with me.

@TheThomason will you sell coffee that's been on the burner for days? I am there

@TheThomason

@TheThomason Simon Winchester suggested a group of booksellers should be called a “charm”. Seems you fit nicely into that wheelhouse.

@TheThomason You want a partner?

@TheThomason And then die on a park bench after giving some sage advice to a young stranger; leaving all that debt unpaid.

@TheThomason It’s because you’re always too busy reading and forget to flip the sign…

@TheThomason I want to be rich enough to have a house with a secret revolving bookcase

@TheThomason Wanna go halves?

@TheThomason But make it a coffee shop and that’s where you’ll find me

@TheThomason @pictionarymom

@TheThomason Same but it's a record store!

@TheThomason Nah dude, we used to have this local bookstore that was a house turned into a library and in the first floor had a cafe and a bar. Just open all day for people to sit and read and if they wanted they could buy the book but they mostly treated it like a library. Also game nights.

@TheThomason

@TheThomason I want to do this but also get into money laundering to support my bookstore habit

@TheThomason Guarded by cats that pee acid, and faceless men playing go in the corner.
