192 Books is located at 192 10th Avenue. As busy as Posman books was, 192 was that quiet, almost sterile. It would have been easy to be overwhelmed by some of the titles (Suann picked up an art criticism book and said, "I'm not sure I'm smart enough to read this,") but we persevered, eventually purchasing Sonali Deraniyagala's memoir, Wave, which is on a number of "Best of...lists" and tells the tragic story of how the author lost her parents, husband and sons to the 2004 tsunami while on vacation in Sri Lanka. (I have been advised to read this in small chunks to try and manage the sadness.)

Across the street from 192 Books is a great little tapas restaurant called Tia Pol; Suann had a pork sandwich while I had French toast off their brunch menu; both were superb and the waitstaff was incredibly friendly. They can be found on the web at: http://tiapol.com/)
