At Borders Bookstore

Interesting time at the Union Square Borders:

Good juxtaposition of books in the reference section: "Amazing Things to do as a Family", "Pessimists Guide to History"

Finding philosophy in the screenplay writing section (am I becoming Californian after all?). Rollo May definition of existentialism: dissonance between belief that universe has a purpose and the lack of purpose in one's own life.
"How to write an unlikable protagonist" - interesting chapter.

Travel section is very crowded, one chubby guy in cheap half-suit stands in front of the US travel section; Idaho

Guy sitting in coffee shop area with a big stack of webprogramming books. Moved on from them, skimming through magazine: "Practical guide to handguns"
