Yesterday
Dawn is into Live Action Role Playing and enjoys reading fantasy, science fiction and medieval history books. You have been trying to set her up with your older brother for a couple of years as he is into all those things to. Dawn has shown a complete lack of interest, and seems happy with her current boyfriend. Oh well.
You have decided that as there is a financial limit on this present of £5 that you should go to one of those Bargain Bookshops, and you know that there is one in the Merrion Centre, which is about a 10 minute walk away, up a hill.
Once inside the shop you browse for a while. There are a load of trashy novels that you don't think that she would be interested in, but which are three for £5.
In the history section, there are two reference books dealing with mythology, both of which are £4.95. One is unashamedly intellectual, the other is more glossy dealing with Norse, Celtic and Classical, with glossy pictures.
You couldn't help noticing that there were some very dodgy books with names like "Tarot Guide to Sex" and "The Short Book of Erotica".
