I did not mention it in this particular post, but it is worth sharing that I found it refreshing when told by a Quaker friend that they consider decision making to be like worship.

This had drastically declined when I moved here a little over 12 years ago. Corporate chain Borders was a social meeting place and emporium of browsing which went the way that I suspect even the mainstream bookshops will go.
