They used to have an extensive sci-fi/fantasy section of mostly paperback books. Then they integrated the hardback sci-fi-fantasy into general fiction & put the paperbacks on their annual book sale, decreasing their catalog by a ton! Seriously, they had shelves & shelves of paperback sci fi titles that just disappeared so they could expand the DVD section. There are some good documentaries but it is mostly movies & TV series. I wonder if they will ditch non-fiction next. ???

Just ranting, but to answer your question, you are normal, but will soon be abnormal.
