Browsers
Not to be confused with Grazers, who are content to look at anything so long as it’s a vaguely booklike object set up on the most prominent, most convenient displays, the Browser has an interest, or a Goal: They want a gardening book, but don’t need that specific gardening book. They’re mystery fans, but are happy with any decent read, they don’t need the latest book from the one author who writes the cat mysteries, “oh, you know the books I’m talking about, they’re so good and I can’t wait for the new one, surely you know the author I’m talking about” (sadly, ‘cat mysteries’ isn’t specific enough — and I hate you.)
The Great Thing about Browsers is that once you direct them to the appropriate section, they’ll help themselves — for years. Most genre fans — sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mystery [except the weird cat people], horror, and yes the comic and manga fans — are browsers. There are many, many sub-types but they all behave the same way:
“Where are your [books of type x]?” … “Thanks.” End of conversation.
this is me. (most of the time)
