“Bea says that the art of reading is slowly dying, that it’s an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day.”
Carlos Ruiz Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind)
Read. Write. Blog. 
When did you read the book? Great quote! But, of course, every Zafon is full of great quotes. That man can write…!
I read it a long time ago, I keep buying copies and then giving them away. I want to read The Angel’s Game and then I will review that one here. Am still looking in charity shops for it.
Yes, I agree with Schnudellumpfe (what a glorious name!): He’s a great writer!
You should have told me! I could have brought my copy… You really should read that one. It’s awesome, though quite different. (And mum; thanks! :-))
