The conversations likely to be overheard there are just classic. Two middle-aged academic-types are sitting just a table away, the very image of bookstore studiousness: books spread out on the surface, coffee mugs half-full, murmured conversation interspersed with quiet chuckles...and the occasional perfect line.
One just admonished the other: "Stop using sexual innuendos in a public place--you're embarrassing everyone!" The effect was probably lessened somewhat by the laugh that followed.
With the rain outside and my soccer games tonight (unfortunately, as I was getting assessed) canceled, it really is a lovely evening to spend in a bookstore. Even the announcements are entertaining!--
"Attention, customers, it is now happy hour in our café, with drink specials of.............Also, please keep an eye out for Jeff, who will be wandering around the store with a tray of spice lattes and snickerdoodle cookies."
Jeff better watch out; I think one of those cookies has my name on it.
