My favorite haunt is the library or a bookstore. I remember having to spend a day transit in Zurich in a cold spring day. It was freezing and I look for a library and spent the day keeping myself warm and enjoying the free facility.
The Bandi & Luni's English book section in quite small about 14 shelves out of probably 200 shelves. There are a lot of classics. Classics are books where the copyrights have expired e.g. The origin of species by Charles Darwin or Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Although the shelves are limited, they contain all the different categories i.e. Literature, Business, English Language and University level Textbooks. There are many good books on English rhetoric.
The main focus of the Foreign Language is aiding students to learn English. Bestsellers are stocks and many classic business bestsellers as well. I find the section although small can be interesting and engaging. The selection must have the right combination of classic as well as current. If the combination is right, passing time in this tiny section is a joy and selecting books that can only be bought in this store is fun.
There are plenty of cafes in the mall and it is good to get a pick-me-up latte and enjoy reading after purchase. The combination is mmmm perfect!
