Worthy Los Angeles area
road trips: Vroman's
in Pasadena - 395 E. Colorado; Book
Soup in West Hollywood @ 8818 Sunset Blvd.; whenever I spend
time in The Bodhi Tree Bookstore
at 8585 Melrose Ave. I leave inspired to be a better person; discover
blissful browsing in Brentwood, at Dutton's,
11975 San Vincente Blvd.
When I was a girl, feminist
bookstores were not so hard to find -- but now there's just one
good one left (that I know of -- if I'm wrong, I want to know!)
in the Los Angeles area: Sisterhood
Bookstore @ 1351 Westwood Blvd. And if you're interested in
booksellers that specialize in authors and titles for the GLBT
community, please click here.
Two historical sites:
City Lights Bookstore
in San Francisco, and A Clean,
Well Lighted Place, also in San Francisco. Let me know if
you're going to visit San Francisco any time soon -- the first
five students to read this far and know what famous literary movement
is associated with City Lights, and what famous author is being
alluded to in A Clean, Well Lighted Place -- well, bring that
information to me, and I'll award a prize of some kind; something
modest, but nice.
