Welcome to the Books Page
What I’ve read recently (and why).
A girl at work said to me last week “You like books, don’t you?”
A bit pretentiously, I said “You breathe, I read – it’s the same thing.”
I went on to explain that every book I read is like falling in love. But better….
When I am finished with Betty (Currently reading Betty Blue – Phillipe Djian), she wil go on the shelf near to Emma (Bovary), Jenny (Love Story) and so on. All patiently and loyally waiting for me to return.
But sometimes it’s even better; sometimes I come across a book that was written for me, just for me and me alone. Madame Bovary, Le Petit Prince and La Peste are ones that come to mind.
It’s strange they’re all French – I think I shall have to think about that, a little bit.
All the best
