What books mean to them

A

Hugo Thompson is an independent bookseller; it's a really high-risk business nowadays, given competition from online bookstores like Amazon and discounted books in supermarkets and large bookstore chains. However, Hugo’s not complaining. His bookstore is in a cute town near Santa Cruz, where many of the inhabitants believe in supporting their local stores. He has a loyal group of customers who regularly buy books from him. Furthermore, he recently opened a small café in the store where customers can sit and leaf through books they like the look of over a latté and a slice of homemade carrot cake. He’s not only made very good friends as a result, but his business is thriving.

B

Marian Taylor is an avid reader, particularly of historical fiction and biographies of historial figures. However, she rarely buys new books these days. She’s a retired nurse, and, although she’d love to support the local bookstores, she can’t really afford to now. Fortunately, Marian loves browsing in secondhand bookstores and thrift stores where she can buy two or three books for the price of

a new one. Moreover, a friend of hers has introduced her to a local book group, which gets together every week to talk about books it's chosen. They take it in turns hosting the meeting, providing drinks and snacks for the others. Naturally, they often find chatting about their own lives even more interesting than the books!

Mark Williams has been working in a bookstore in Eugene for about three years. He found it very hard at first. He hadn’t been used to having books around at home, and his friends were mostly interested in music and sports. Initially, Mark worked in the bestselling fiction section, which he found quite embarrassing. He’d never heard of most of the authors and began to wish he’d shown more interest in literature at school. However, he’s much happier since he was moved to the sports section, where he’s more knowledgeable about the subject. He’s also discovered he can download ebooks to his MP3 player and read them on the bus. His favorites are autobiographies of great sports stars, such as Tom Brady and Venus Williams.
