Reading while waiting

When I go to the mall, I like to go to the book store. There are many books which I can browse through before deciding to buy them. Sometimes, I can read almost half of the book while waiting for my better half to finish her shopping. I always tell myself that if I go there again, I will finish reading the same book. Am I a miser?

I am not alone. There will be children on the floor reading books while waiting for their parents who may have gone shopping.

At least I know where to go when my life partner decides to go shopping again.
