In an effort to upgrade my wardrobe, I checked out a few goodwills and DI's that are near upscale neighborhoods. I got some killer deals on Gap and Banana Republic clothing that looks like it had only been worn once, if at all.

Perusing the rest of the store I noticed something in the books section. Absolutely no non-fiction. My deduction is that fast laners never part with good books, and that sidewalkers wouldn't buy them anyway. What do you think?
