☆ "warm love letters" written by thirteen writers to bookstores!
☆ From here on, you will become an incorrigible book lover!
This book is not an index of place names, nor a guide to bookstores in the world.
It is the private memories of fifteen writers minus two writers about this special space of bookstores.
For them, the bookstore is a kind of medicine or a prescription, a secret garden,
a stage to protest against the spread of cliches and rhetoric in other parts of the world,
a safe and rational place, and
a place that is both a lighthouse and a cave.

"This is where it all started." When we passed the old site of foyle Bookstore, I said, although I'm not sure exactly what started there-maybe it wasn't the beginning at all. Maybe it's the end.

It happened that the community was closed, so I just got this book by express this morning and I finished reading it tonight. The topics that book lovers love fondly make it even more enjoyable to read under the epidemic. Although the bookstore stories written by writers are from different countries, there are many * * * things in it. For example, they are all infatuated with second-hand bookstores, and those shopkeepers who can always easily tell the true book lovers. For example, everyone laments that e-books are eating away at the exiles in the era of intellectual knowledge and online bookstores, and the name of the "big and bad online bookstore" that harms exiles is not willing to say more! I like "Green Palm Bookstore" best, and the owner deserves to be a friend of pasolini's basin! Punchy words such as "books are alive, books pick customers, mice don't eat books for no reason, books have a strong temper, and they will jump off the building (bookshelf) three times when they are placed with their number one enemy". I have written down all the good ones; I want to read The Story of Ghosts and Ghosts and Genghis Khan Management Law. I also want to pray to the spirits who protect books from dust and destruction, can we also protect our "only place is a lighthouse and a cave"

Unfortunately, my teenagers don't have independent bookstores, but I still like those bookstores that accompanied me when I grew up, and most of them are gone or have lost their old appearance: Fengqi Road Foreign Languages, Qingchun Road Xinhua, Wenerboku, and 5 yuan Zhixuan Bookstore on Wulin Road. In modern cities, I need such corners too much: "constant home in a changeable city" and "cave and lighthouse". Most of the chapters are very touching, and I hate the article Intimacy a little. I don't like the literati to impose the maze of personal inner feelings on ordinary people, and I have to play the victim when I make a simple mistake.

There are countless book lovers in every era. When you talk to book lovers in different eras through time and space, you will always feel "so do you" after reading.

Therefore, a firm and determined scholar may spend three hours leafing through half a million books when his beloved wife is far away from the other side of the country. If he is willing to risk driving home at the beginning of this snowstorm, which is said to be like the end of the world, he can stay longer.

A good bookstore is a place where you go in to find a book and come out with a book you didn't know existed. In this way, the dialogue of literature can be broadened, and the boundary of our experience can be pushed outward by resisting the limitations.

So are good literary works.

There are several leather armchairs in Lejnell Bookstore all the time, which makes people feel as if they are in someone's living room, while we readers are sitting, which feels like attending a big party in a hospitable person's home. This kind of feeling can't be found in many bookstores today. In these bookstores, readers seem to be regarded as intruders, who come in to waste their time and may not buy anything, while the clerk doesn't agree with the sacred habit of browsing books, perhaps because they have never done so.
