Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops













C: You must get so much time to read, just sitting here surrounded  by books.
B: What is it you do?
C: Me? I work in a clothes shop.
B: Well, you must get so much time to try clothes on, just standing there, surrounded by clothes.
**
C: Have you read every single book in here?
B: No, I can't say i have.
C: Well, you're not very good at your job, are you?
**
C: You should consider arranging your books by size and color.
B: But then no one would be able to find anything.
C: Well, that doesn't matter. It'd look pretty.
**
C: (holding up a copy of Ulysses): Why is this book so long? Isn't it supposed to be set in one day only? How can this many pages of things happen to one person in one day? I mean, I get up, have breakfast, go to work, come home...sometimes I might go out for a drink, and that's it, I mean, that doesn't fill a book, does it?
**
C: I do find it odd that people manage to make a living out of writing books for children. I'm sure any mother could do it.
B: Why don't you try it yourself?
C: I always mean to, but I'm very busy right now with my pottery class.
**
C: Do you have a section on religion?
B: Sure, it's just over there.
C: You've got Richard Dawkins's books on here next to the copies of the Bible.
B: That section is for all kinds of books relating to religion.
C: I hope youo know that's a sin. And you will go to hell.
