Heute nach dem Frühstück habe ich meinen Krimi ausgelesen, eigentlich war er viel zu kurz. Und fast hätte ich ihn gestern schon ausgelesen, wollte mir aber dann die letzten 80 Seiten für heute aufheben. Ein tolles Buch mit einer jugendlichen, mutigen Protagonistin in einer überraschenden Geschichte. Jetzt muss ich mir halt leider die restlichen zwei Bände auch bestellen...
Am Nachmittag habe ich dann jetzt noch schnell mein neues Buch angelesen - das Vorwort und das erste Kapitel. Ein Buch, das ich auch hätte schreiben können, denn es geht um die Bücher, die man als Kind gelesen hat. Ich hab als Kind ja sehr viel gelesen und mir geht es irgendwie wir der Schriftstellerin: Lesen war immer interessanter, als mit anderen Kindern spielen. Ich war auch eine bücher-besessene Einzelgängerin. Der einzige Unterschied zwischen Lucy Mangan und mir sind die Kinderbücher selbst, denn ich habe mehr deutsche/österreichische gelesen und nur wenige internationale Literatur für Kinder.
Mein neues Buch:
Lucy MANGAN
Bookworm
A Memoir of Childhood Reading
Description: When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up new worlds and cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one.
She was whisked away to Narnia – and Kirrin Island – and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy, and played by the tracks with the Railway Children. With Charlotte’s Web she discovered Death and with Judy Blume it was Boys. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library or to spend her pocket money on amassing her own at home.
In Bookworm, Lucy revisits her childhood reading with wit, love and gratitude. She relives our best-beloved books, their extraordinary creators, and looks at the thousand subtle ways they shape our lives. She also disinters a few forgotten treasures to inspire the next generation of bookworms and set them on their way.
Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life – prompting endless re-readings, rediscoveries, and, inevitably, fierce debate – and brilliantly uses them to tell her own story, that of a born, and unrepentant, bookworm.
