Yes I work in a library, so this was right up my street. But this is hilarious. My colleague is reading it next to me now and chortling away. Short but genius.

As advertised, book of strange retail interactions in bookshops.

Some of these interactions really had me laughing, and I swear some of them had to be jokes on the employees.
Customer: Do you have any crime books about speeding tickets?
I guess I've never really thought about crime books in that way...
Others... were just really sad and said more about humanity than I could ever put into words.
Customer: Do you have a book with a photograph of Jesus in it? I want to prove to my friend that he was white.
The book was really short (or just really quick to read, since it was mostly dialogue). It was lighthearted and fun most of the time, sad and disheartening at others, but all in all an interesting read.

I liked the idea behind this and I chuckled quite a bit but a) this book (or twitter feed, I guess) is far from memorable yet, again, really funny and b) I thought some of the situations were kind of… mean? I don’t know.
