nakA book bar where you can slam a book shut on the bar after you're finished, shout, "Another!" and the barkeep will choose a new book from your TBR list based on what they think you will most enjoy in the moment like some kind of librarian sommelier. #Bookstodon #UnknownArtist
Andrew Benedict-Nelson@Nak can it serve drinks too tho? ;-)
@albnelson age appropriate of course 
Luis Villa@Nak @albnelson and book appropriate, of course. If you’re reading Gatsby, has to come straight out of a 1920s bar book. Milk and cookies for anything you first read when <9.
@luis_in_brief @Nak I’m reading Aubrey-Maturin so I’ll either have a fine port wine or grog

Artyom Bologov@Nak I thought that book stores are like that, but I seem to be spoiled by the good ones…
ʙᴇɴ ᴄᴏᴛᴛᴇяɪʟʟ@Nak What would be a good “one for the road”?
@BenCotterill I want to say “On The Road” but your favorite would also be a fine choice.
@Nak I read that as “The Road” for a second!
petes_bread_eqn_xls@Nak oh, a bar where you could order a Cosmopolitan (magazine), not a bar where you could order a Cosmopolitan (cocktail)

Just kidding. The bartenders there will only serve you beer. You gotta browse the shelves for your next book yourself.

Chuls, do you know anything about residency requirements for foreigners (extra-EU) in Austria?

@Voline not much. Are you looking to move?
@chuls
Been thinking about it for a while. But now, this country is just going to ruin. My Grandparents were Austrians — technically. Some places that really matters, like Ireland. Some places it matters a little, Canada for instance.

@Voline I understand. I think many people are considering leaving your part of the world atm. I helped my ex husband move from Australia to Austria bsck in the day, but it’s all so specific to situations. I don’t know anything about immigration other than that
@chuls
The current slide into authoritarianism is alarming enough. But that acute problem just added to my dissatisfaction with an automobile-centric society. I'd like to get away from it. Preferably some old town where the streets are so narrow it would be difficult to get one car up. Also, less active repression would be good.

@Voline yes I understand that notion. I couldn’t live in a car centric city
I haven't owned a car in years. I specifically moved to Portland because it was so bicycle friendly. I live in a dense neighborhood near downtown. I can get everything I need done by walking and biking. That was enough for a long time. But the whine of the nearby freeway is never-ending, and if you ever leave town … well the strip malls go on forever.
Also, masked government thugs are grabbing people off the streets. There's that.
@Voline yeah don’t get me wrong, Vienna too has more than enough cars. I live in the inner city and it gets to me. The noise and all. But it is walkable and I love that
PeterIf you place your book upside down on the bar it means you want to fight about it?
Fish in the Percolator@Nak I'd never leave.

Michael BuschThere was a bar in the college town where my grandfather taught physics called "The Library", which was decorated with books - but they were mostly Reader's Digest abridged editions.
(It was called that so that the students could go to the bar and then tell their parents that they'd been at the library.)

@michael_w_busch I’ve been reminded there is a bar named The Office in a nearby town. Named for, uh, similar reasons.
