    Is that like a cafe? Why would you bring 7 books to a cafe and lay them out on the table?

    A couple books, sure. But this is a cry for attention right?

      Looks like the reading area of a library to me - Long communal tables, open late, no obvious marks on the tables from cups, person working in the back and a chill attitude towards locals advertising stuff

      doxxing myself here but that is the old coffee room at Powell’s Books in downtown Portland, before the remodel. It’s an enormous multistory bookstore that takes up a whole city block and people do sometimes treat it like a library.

      If I was writing a research paper I might do this for quote mining. He is probably in grad school
