in my country, the biggest sections in bookstores are self-help and "how you get rich [really really fast]"

That sounds like chain bookstores where I'm from (the US). Independent bookstores are usually different.

This also reminds me of an old joke from a friend: You know the bookstore is bad if the Philosophy section is filled with copies of The Tao of Pooh.

I bought a copy on audio tape and listen to it every couple of months. I find "pooh-tao" (as my wife and I call it) very entertaining.

And easier to pick up at any point in the work than Castaneda, Hitchens, Socrates, etc. Good for driving background audio, in my opinion...

Or it's a GREAT bookstore!
