It's actually quite a nice store, you see funny comments on most of the books.

And the owner really does seem to know his stuff. I bought Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadeter and while I was paying he was like.

So you getting this? I got through a quarter of the book before I realized I was too stupid to understand it. -Hahaha well I can only hope that I will -You need more than that

Still haven't read the book but I'll surely remember him when I happen to don't understand the book

That book has a wonderful point, it just doesn't express it very concisely. I don't blame the author for this though, since I don't think we actually have the language to express that kind of stuff concisely.
