National Airport in DC used to have a Borders Express. Naturally, that’s gone, but to my delight, another bookstore has taken its place.

As I expected (and as usual in airport bookstores), the selection was a little too popular for me, but they did have several entire bookcases devoted exclusively to Penguin Classics. So the next time I fly out of DCA, I won’t have to worry if I neglect to bring reading material.

The Atlanta airport (where I had a layover on my way back to DC from Florida) had a smaller bookshop called Simply Books. It had a small selection of Penguin Classics on a small, circular metal rack. They also sold Amazon’s Kindle Fire and there was a small cafe attached to the shop.
