Give madness a chance!: I won't shop at Thalia anymore!!! - "nice" how Thalia behaves. The store has been suspicious to me for a long time anyway, because interesting bookstore, that's different. One reason why I buy more and more on the internet is the simply abysmally boring selection of "literature" in local large bookstores. Unfortunately, small bookstores in Münster limit themselves to children's literature, women's literature, esotericism, and religion - and I don't know why I listed esotericism and religion separately. In any case, not what I want to read. And with all non-German books, almost all bookstores here are so bad at ordering that Amazon becomes the urgent option out of the motivation "I want to get the book this year" in January. Maybe someday self-publishing and local printing will bring some movement to the situation - and hopefully also a chance for small, well-sorted, and competent specialty bookstores again. Because actually, browsing in a bookstore is fun when the sellers actually know what they're talking about and don't just sell in the bookstore because they earn too little in the perfumery. But that is probably more of a utopia for Münster.
