Have you ever seen this store? American, French and Korean people may have heard of this name, Book Off 'cause there're a few stores in their contry. It's is Japan's largest chain of used book store which also sell manga, CDs, DVDs and video games. If you go to this store, you can see students who read entire series of manga standing in the aisles. To tell the truth, I'm sick of them so much. I work as part time job for it. When I bring manga to bookshelf, they often stand in front of shelf which Iwanna supply manga to. Damn it! But I pretend not to care about it. hahaha :-}
By the way, I wanna ask a quetion. What if you don't read your books? Are you gonna throw away or use to light fire in the fireplace? No way!!! Even if your books are boring or worthless, they have a few tip about whatever. Yeah, it's kinda recycling. It definetly helps reduce unnesessary publication and consumption of tree. I hope the company expand more its stores overseas.
...well, unfortunatelly the stores which are overseas have one problem. I noticed when I went to the bookoff which is in Vancouver. Japanese books and CDs take over 70% place in this store, so most of customer were Japanese even though not many Japanese is in Vancouver. That means citizen around Vancouver don't bring their used books to bookoff. I wonder recycling doesn't work well overseas. I'm not sure about it. I'd like to know other contries' case.

Meh, there is a thing where I can't hang out with associates outside of work. I could get fired if I even had coffee with them outside work.
