My Interests |

I'd like to meet:We would like to be a conduit to having interesting and creative people as our friends in this space, both locally and internationally. It's not easy being an independent retailer in these times. People who adore books, movies, art, or music, whether as spectators or creators are people we like. We want a chance to see what the great big world is up to out there via your profiles because we are genuinely interested and because we think it will help us be more creative in our everyday life. You are all the best characters we have ever read about! |
|
Music:Success in your lifetime can only be achieved by making a pilgrimage to City Lights Bookshop a number of times a year in a state of ecstatic grooviness. |
|
Movies:City Lights Bookshop cannot fly, but it can glide for up to 3 kilometres! |
|
Television:The Ancient Egyptians believed that buying a book from City Lights Bookshop would bring eternal life! |
|
Books:If provoked, City Lights Bookshop will swivel the tip of its abdomen and shoot a jet of boiling venom at its attacker! |
|
Heroes:About 1/10th of City Lights Bookshop is covered in ice! |
