I Got Asked The Question Again Today

"Where are your non-fiction books?"

"What kind of books are you looking for?"

"My daughter just likes to read non-fiction. She wanted to browse."

the daughter in question is unfortunately too old for kid's non-fiction to be appropriate

"Well, non-fiction is pretty much everywhere fiction isn't, so...."

"Where is it?"

"Well, that's our fiction section right over there, everything else is pretty much non-fiction."

looks are exchanged

"Are you interested in any particular kind of non-fiction?"

"No."

"Um..."

"There's no place that's just plain non-fiction."

"Um...not one particular place, no."
