Barnes and Noble

I saw an article this morning that said Barnes and Noble is failing. I don't know if that's true, but I think it probably is. I know from personal experience that a lot of stores are failing now that there is so much online competition. I can still remember when Borders went out of business (at least the location near me), I had to hurry up and use my giftcards. I had always loved Borders, since they had a big selection of manga. I don't really read a lot of manga, but I was really into Death Note at the time. As much as I loved Borders, Barnes and Noble holds more memories for me. My dad used to drop me and my sister off there and we would look at almost everything in the store. When we got hungry we would eat something from the store inside. I tried my first overpriced grilled cheese there. There was something about Barnes and Noble that made me want to see my book in print on the shelves. I got away from Barnes and Noble recently, since I didn't feel they had enough content that interested me lately. The last time I went in one there were a lot of books that inspired movies and not much else. I was disappointed, and I also found the prices too high. I turned to book outlet or the local library for paperpacks, but I still like to go to Barnes and Noble or Books A Million from time to time. I would be sad to see them go.
