Put your legs up. Pretend to read a Danielle Steele book. At closing time, just hide behind the stacks of literary novels. No one looks there. Besides, the library doesn't offer cheesecake.
Bookstores are fascinating places.
Go to the front of a bookstore and you'll find all the popular books, books by authors such as Stephen King and Sue Grafton, books that are either national bestsellers or endorsed by Oprah. How they became bestsellers is one of life's greatest mysteries, to be solved in the next Deepak Chopra book. There's just too much competition among self-help books. Everybody's got a solution to your problem, whether you're an alcoholic, a bulimic or a lawyer. Go to the biography section and read about an overachiever like Jennifer Aniston, who was once just a struggling actress, but is now married to Brad Pitt.
