This Barnes and Noble location is particularly excellent. There are wide windows in the front of the store that allow sunlight to stream in, creating a cheery atmosphere.
No one will bother you if you pull a few, or even several books off the shelf and settle yourself in one of the squashy armchairs around the store to read for awhile.
You can also stroll over to the cafe and get a cup of coffee to sip while you browse.
