When you’re looking for a good book and want to avoid the huge chains that all seem to look the same, hunt down a top-rated indie bookstore. Here are just a couple on Oahu that you might want to check out when you’re next in a literary mood. BookEnds, in Kailua, is a charming little spot that sells both used and new titles. They also have a rather eclectic selection, so you never know what you’re going to find there. For something a little closer, try Na Mea. They’re a store that’s focused on the literature of Hawaii and can boast of having the largest selection of this type anywhere in the world. And for something a bit more educational in nature, head to Revolution Books near the University of Hawaii. They specialize in all-things political, social and philosophical.
