Bay Area Books
Though the Bay Area is teeming with high quality bookstores — Green Apple, Moe’s, Pegasus, Booksmith, Modern Times, etc. — I was wondering last night, while following the Reeses-pieces path I laid so that I might find my way out of the labyrinth that is Green Apple, why I’ve yet to find a really quality theology/religion bookstore. With Moe’s as the only notable exception, most of the good stores only seem to care about alternative & eastern religion, with very token gestures toward Christian theology. This makes sense, of course, considering where I’m living, but we do have the GTU around here. Don’t those students ever need to sell their books? I only recently learned of the University Press Bookstore in Berkeley, even though I’d walked by it dozens of times, so it’s possible (given I’m only prone to browse theology, and not actually read it) I’ve simply overlooked such a place. Any Bay Area natives or former residents know of such a place?
I could probably find my answer via Google or Yelp, but what’s the fun in that?
Also … anyone, is Meillassoux’s After Finitude worth my time?
