The Book Barn

I'm taking Syd down to Niantic Connecticut to check out the Book Barn today. If you have not been there, it is probably one of the most unique book buying experience you'll ever have. And it's a pity we can't have more used book stores like this in the Woo.

It has three locations. The 41 West Main Street location (as pictured above) is the main store. And it indeed does live up to its name Book BARN. On the land each genre is located in a different barn or shed. And there's a great deal of books to choose from. They also have a main building which you can come in from the cold and spend a little time checking out books in there too.

Not only that. For cat lovers like myself and my wife. Some very friendly cats wander the land. They ask if you don't pick up the cats. This is more for your own protection since cats can be notoriously moody. But if a cat happens to climb into your lap while you're relaxing, that's a different story.

If you're not able to find what you want at the main location, you have two other stores to check out. One located right in the downtown area and another in an alley just a few steps away from the downtown store.

I'm planning on looking for some more PG WODEHOUSE (especially a few more Psmith books) today as well as a copy of A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Its actually a book I've never read and I felt maybe this year might be the time to read it.

Its worth the drive down to Niantic to check it out.
