If you're going to be holing up in a bookstore for a while, catching up on your reading, you might as well choose one with comfortable chairs. After an exhaustive search, we have determined that the Barnes & Noble in West County Center has the most abundant collection of squashy armchairs of any bookstore in the area. Even on a Saturday, you've got a good chance of securing one for yourself, possibly even near a window so you can take advantage of the natural light. The selection of books and periodicals is what you'd expect from a Barnes & Noble, as is the café; the music isn't too annoying, and the bathrooms are clean. What more could you ask for?
