Ever been awake late at night stuck with insomnia?  Maybe you just need a good book to read to settle the mind.  Then the age old problem of where to go to get a book late at night.  You’ve already recycled all those books on the shelves three times over.  If you are in the NC State\Hillsborough St. area of Raleigh then The Reader’s Corner is your answer.

They have a pretty substantial selection of used books lining the outside of the store.  On the left is a lot of reference material and hardbacks that will run you 25 cents a piece.  To the right is lighter reading and softcovers.  Tough call if you are trying to go to sleep.  The reference might be just the trick to put you to sleep.

I meandered through the shelves for a while today looking for any good pickups.  I love movie\book crossovers and they happened to have The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy by Robert Ludlum.  They actually had two copies of The Bourne Supremacy, each with a slightly different cover.  When I got home to break out  the first in the series, Identity, I noticed that instead of putting back one of the copies of Supremacy, I had returned Identity.  So I am now the proud owner of two copies of the same book.  I need to go back to swap out the duplicate, didn’t see much use in having two copies.

Just remember to drop your money in the drop slot before you leave.  I’m curious how many people leave exact change.  I know that I just threw in a dollar for the books I grabbed.  Total value, 20 cents.
