The London Review of Books World Literature Weekend is happening Friday-Sunday this weekend. The program is here and if you’re a lover of world literature and in London, there is only one place to be. OK maybe two: The British Museum and the London Review of Books Book/Cakeshop.
I’m making my way there right now – seat booked in the quiet carriage – 5 hours there and 5 hours back. 10 hours uninterrupted reading. Bliss!
Book bag is packed. Thanks to Calgal for the lovely surprise gift. I’m having trouble deciding which motto I love most.
Front-side is a classic:
- My best friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read: Abraham Lincoln
I’ll be putting the other motto into practice this weekend.
When I get a little money, I buy books; if any is left, I buy food and clothes: Erasmus
I suspect you’ll spot the bag before you spot me. If you do, please say hello.
