Such an amazing store piled high with books and memories, my friend!
I love that Billy Joel song - being honest with yourself and others is the most rewarding path to follow, but it's true- it can be a lonely road.
A lot of millenials here in Toronto are once again buying LP's and CD's - this generation seems to prefer that. Two things seem to stimulate memories - familiar scents and music.
I think inhaling the nutmeg scent of old books and hearing that song again brought to your mind your old friend.
I was a beautiful memory.
