Everybody Should Make Time To Read

It's funny because when I was a kid, I used to read all the time. My mom would take me to the library every week to pick out new books. That was a long time ago. Unfortunately, as I got older it was all about reading for school and I lost interest. Now the minute I open a book, I immediately start falling asleep.

Recently, one of my co-workers has been encouraging me to start reading again. I have tried but it's still a work in progress. I think the key to getting back into it is the material. I just have to find something that interests me. I remember the joy of going to a bookstore as a kid. There was so much more than just books. I enjoyed the music, magazines, games, and so much more. This might be a great place to get started.


One Of The Best Bookstores In the U.S. Is Located In Illinois

I'm not surprised that one of the top-rated bookstores in our country is located in Chicago. It's a world-class city featuring a lot of culture. It's called Women And Children First located in the Andersonville neighborhood of the city (5233 North Clark Street). There's just something cool about an independent locally owned business. They can do their own thing without worrying about rules.

According to timeout.com,

"Though this Andersonville shop has a definite feminist slant (and is one of the largest feminist bookstores in the country), any and all can find something here. The store stocks more than 30,000 books by and about women, plus children's titles."
