The bookstores around here that I used to know turned into coffee shops where you can read....sadly I hate coffee shops and reading in my own language so I'll stick to English translation of light novels for my reading fix.
Though the idea of grabbing a drink while reading sounds good in theory I'd rather be in the comfort of my own house reading something I picked instead of the weird collection of stuff bookstores sometimes keep.
Doesn't help that it's all pretentious advice books written by ex politicians who want to make it look like they don't deserve to get shot in the head for stealing money.
I just want some fantasy or sci-fi adventure but that was too much to ask from a bookstore the last time I went to one.... admittedly quite some time ago

Used bookstores near me have healthy inventory of scifi and fantasy but the new bookstores are insulting.
