I could live in a bookstore

I have often thought that if money were no object, I would be happy running a little bookstore in a town like Bristol, Vermont.  Or maybe Middlebury, VT to get the college trade.  I love books - reading them, recommending good ones to people, hearing about an author I've yet to discover.  I am almost jealous of people who, for example, haven't get read His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.  It is an amazingly inventive and creative trilogy and I loved reading it.  I've read it several times - it just gets better and better.  I'm really looking forward to the movie of the first book, The Golden Compass which is coming out later this year.

I've also recently become a huge fan of Charles de Lint's writing.  His books have that wonderful ability to completely transport me and make me forget where I am.  I know a book is really moves me when I am slightly foggy when I lift my eyes from the page, that feeling of "Where am I?  What's going on?"  I highly recommend his books, especially the Newford series of stories.

Of course, if anyone reading this has any authors they would like to recommend, I would be pleased to hear it.
