Eine Buchhandlung

ist das Thema meines nächsten Romans. Ich hab gestern Abend schon ein paar Seiten gelesen und bin fasziniert, von der Liebe zu Büchern und Buchantiquariaten, die in diesem Buch beschrieben wird. Das Buch wurde zwar bereits 1919 geschrieben und daher ist der Stil natürlich ziemlich altmodisch, aber ich könnte mir pausenlos Zitate raus schreiben und ich bin gespannt, wie es weitergehen wird.

 

Meine neue Lektüre:

Christopher MORLEY
The Haunted Bookshop

Description: Mifflin, who hawked books out of the back of his van in Christopher Morley’s beloved Parnassus on Wheels, has finally settled down with his own secondhand bookstore in Brooklyn. There, he and his wife, Helen, are content to live and work together, prescribing literature to those who hardly know how much they need it. When Aubrey Gilbert, a young advertising man, visits the shop, he quickly falls under the spell of Mifflin’s young assistant, Titania. But something is amiss in the bookshop, something Mifflin is too distracted to notice, and Gilbert has no choice but to take the young woman’s safety into his own hands. Her life—and the Mifflins’—may depend on it.
 
With a deep respect for the art of bookselling, and as much flair for drama as romance, Christopher Morley has crafted a lively, humorous tale for book lovers everywhere.
