Bookstores as a place for spread of culture

To compete with online stores,bookshops need to reinvent their way of doing business-it should be a place where culture vulture can gather to learn about some topics-like lessons on folk art, a musical performance with a history of the instrument, a talk on economic theory,a dance performance ,a stand up comedian, a workshop on cooking or painting.A book shop is a repository of knowledge and culture.Have more proactive approaches -and the young customers will come-a gathering place for schoolchildren and young people.
          This morning I feasted on the food of love -MUSIC and savoured the entree which whetted my appetite -the song of Rain Kotonoha no Niwa  in Makato Sinkai's anime The Garden of Words,then savoured the main meal of Yukata Ozaki's Forget Me Not and I love you before chomping on classical guzheng or zither of The Swordsman and Fisherman's Song at Dusk but the moment was spoiled by the ticking clock for me to change and dress for work.But my mind felt so light and relaxed.Toshi's rendition of New York state of mind would be the best dessert,a touch of sweetness  and jazz to end the meal. hell no time to comb my hair,just clip it with a crabclaw.
 Another interesting cuisine I would like to learn is southern american food from Louisana that is fusion of French and Creole like Black eye peas and Jambalaya and fried catfish with hush puppies.
