Truly Sad News

Kepler's Books in Menlo Park abruptly went out of business this morning.

Geezus.

This is the bookstore which has been hosting the SF book discussion I've been going to since I moved here six-plus years ago. No idea what I'll do next for a book discussion. I don't have the energy to form my own. I imagine this will hit Cafe Borrone's traffic pretty hard, too.

It was just a few months ago that we went to their 50th anniversary celebration. So this is a big, big shock.

A few other journal entries on Kepler's closing:

• Diane Patterson
• Rika Youngblood
• Cynthia

Save Keplers is a blog devoted to trying to bring back the bookstore.

I'm feeling much better than I was on Monday, thanks. This news notwithstanding.
