What: Myopic Books is a used bookstore in Chicago's Wicker Park. It's often voted to "Best of Chicago" lists, but here are some specific aspects I really like:
Myopic also hosts regularly scheduled live music and poetry readings, but these can easily be avoided if they're not your cup of tea.
- The interior is based on half-floors and short, labyrinthine aisles. Very pleasing aesthetic for a used bookstore.
- A robust fiction selection that is co-located, skipping over the trap of making (usually questionable) genre distinctions.
- A robust book-buying program!
- Very accessible hours! (9 a.m.-11 p.m., seven days a week)
- Close to public transit! (Damen, Blue Line)
