Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, and yes, Miffy is my avatar!
I don't own my own store (yet!) but I work at a small, independent used bookstore. It's so much more comfy than working corporate. We sell pretty much everything, so I get a wide variety of knowledge & familiarity with books. I also try to read all kinds of books - from French revolution nonfiction to mysteries. My favorite authors, though, are Haruki Murakami, Bret Easton Ellis, and John Dunning.
Never seen the movie, but I'm really into the vintage postcards.
