Larissa - September 2008
Hello
Hello,
I am your friendly-neighbourhood Lit[erature] Pimp; I pimp out literature for
a living. This will be my sixth year as Bookseller for the Co-op. I
used to be a Concordia Undergrad, back in 2000-2002; doing a Major in
Photography. But then I fell in love with the Co-op, my job, my new
family, and I haven't been back to finish my degree since.
I love the Co-op. It's my second home; I like to think that that's where
it gets its homey feel. The selection we have stems from my personal
interests, you could almost say that it is like my own personal Library,
except the books aren't (all) free.
Last
five books I've read:
1. It's too Late to say I'm Sorry by Joey Comeau (Loose Teeth Press)
2. Twilight (Gasp! The whole series - My Secret Shame) by Stephanie Meyer (MT Press)
3. Coffeeshop Crushes: Tales of Love and Lust in Coffee Establishments Edited by Nicole J. Georges & Jon Van Oast (Microcosm Press)
4. (Re-Read) Blankets by Craig Thompson (Top Shelf Press)
5. Persepolis I & Persepolis II by Marjane Satrapi (Pantheon Press)
