I often go to bookstores for pleasure and for my improvement in English. Chapters in Vancouver Downtown is one of my most favorite booksotres because it is very spacious. It is so comfortable with some sofas that I sometimes stay there more than three hours reading some books and magazines. I think the prices of books are expensive in Canada. I don't know the exact reason for that, but most books are written in the U.S. and two prices printed on them; one in US dollars and the other in Canadian dollars. If the price is US$50, the other price is CAN$75! So I pick up several books which seem to be interesting, go to sit on the sofa with them, and enjoy reading them for free. I think this place is much better than the public library because there are many brandnew books and magazines here. And furthermore, there is Starbucks inside the every store of Chapters. It's amazing!
