They also ask for nonfiction. "Where's nonfiction?"

Pretty much everywhere.

And they ask if they can use the photocopier.

And they ask you to find a book so they can order it from Amazon.

Where are your nonfiction novels?

Swear to G-d. I've heard it!

Oh, bookseller. What can we do?

I got Mr. Cogito and Oblivion Ha-Ha from the library. Thanks.
