Das Leben der Buchhändler

Am Sonntag habe ich die Biografie der chinesischen Schriftstellerin Hong Ying ausgelesen, das Buch war aber irgendwie sehr deprimierend.

Deshalb habe ich mich danach für eines der neuen Bücher entschieden, ich habe mir Shaun Bythell's "Beichte" ausgesucht. Der erste Band hat mir extrem gut gefallen und auch der zweite gefällt mir bisher sehr gut.

 

Mein Neues:

Shaun BYTHELL
Confessions of a Bookseller

Description: "Do you have a list of your books, or do I just have to stare at them?" Shaun Bythell is the owner of The Bookshop in Wigtown, Scotland. With more than a mile of shelving, real log fires in the shop and the sea lapping nearby, the shop should be an idyll for bookworms. Unfortunately, Shaun also has to contend with bizarre requests from people who don't understand what a shop is, home invasions during the Wigtown Book Festival and Granny, his neurotic Italian assistant who likes digging for river mud to make poultices.

 

The Diary of a Bookseller (soon to be a major TV series) introduced us to the joys and frustrations of life lived in books. Sardonic and sympathetic in equal measure, Confessions of a Bookseller will reunite readers with the characters they've come to know and love.
