How are you supposed to browse books together though? The act of picking up a book, looking at it, reading the back cover, reading a page or two, etc, kind of forgoes a social aspect so for it to be a social thing you kind of have to not really be browsing in any meaningful way. I've done that at the Barnes and Noble at the mall while waiting for a movie to start with a friend but that's pretty shallow as far as book browsing is concerned, and consequently the activity of browsing books wasn't that interesting and I'm just looking for books as conversation starters.
