Kline'S owner Pact 14 Bookstore cafe: a novel job The second of two articles The most interesting thing about working in a bookstore cafe: voyeurism. When I wasn't burning my flesh steaming milk, lacerating my palm cutting bagels or wishing the long line of customers would just disappear, I would lean against the counter and watch customers sit at tables drinking cof- fee and reading books. From my vantage point behind the espresso machine I could see everything the customers were reading. Looking back, I like to think I had my finger on the cliched pulse of the literary circle. Sometimes titles would catch my interest and, during my hour break, 1 would scramble to the shelves to see what was so great about a certain book or magazine. Speaking of breaks, they were, as I'm sure they are to most people, my favorite part of the day. My reasons, however, weren't simply to get away from the crowds of customers that milled about the cafe* like a lost herd on the weekends. On my break, I was free to grab any book, magazine or newspaper off the shelves and bring it upstairs with me to the employee lounge, where I could read over lukewarm, rubbery Lean Cuisine dinners.
